Written Answers. - Court Delays.

, Limerick East): I am aware that delays arose recently in one area of the High Court, i.e., the Chancery Division, as a result of a vacancy in one of the posts of Registrar in the Central Office of the High Court which was affected by the Government embargo on the filling of two out of every three vacancies. Steps have been taken to rectify the matter by the appointment of a registrar for the court in question which is now operating normally.
