Question:

12 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he intends to implement the recommendations of the Law Reform Commission into the court poor box system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12690/04]

Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

As the Deputy is aware, the Law Reform Commission published a consultation paper in March 2004 in relation to this matter. In the paper, the commission put forward a number of provisional recommendations as to how the court poor box system might be reformed. The Law Reform Commission will publish a report containing its final recommendations when the consultation process is complete. I look forward to examining the commission's final recommendations as soon as they become available.
