Question:

30 Mr. M. McDowell asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform if he has considered the Law Reform Commission's consultative paper on occupiers' liability; if so, if he intends to implement its main recommendations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Equality and Law Reform (Mr. Taylor)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 24 and 30 together.

The Law Reform Commission's Consultative Paper was published on 14 June last. I have had the opportunity to examine its principl recommendations and, as I anticipated, the work done by the Commission is likely to be of great value to my Department.
