Question:236 Mr. Higgins (Mayo) asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a High Court case (details supplied) scheduled for hearing in 1983 was listed; and if a judgment was registered. [13721/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 229 and 236 together.
I am informed that a search of the records of the High Court on the basis of the information supplied by the Deputy has failed to locate any record of the case in question. If the Deputy has any further details to offer which might assist in tracking the record of this case I will make further inquiries on his behalf.
I would remind the Deputy, however, that the courts are, subject only to the Constitution and the law, independent in the exercise of their judicial functions and it would, therefore, be inappropriate for me, as Minister, to comment on the conduct of an individual court case.
