asked the Minister for Justice if he will state the number of civil cases listed and awaiting hearing in the Dublin Circuit Court; whether a number of such cases are listed for a considerable time, and if he is aware that litigants are seriously inconvenienced by the inability of the court to dispose of cases expeditiously.

I may add that some of the oldest cases mentioned above appeared in the judges' list for hearing some months ago, but on the application of the parties to the actions who were not ready to proceed were taken out of the list and re-entered for a later date. The position as indicated by these statistics appears to be fairly satisfactory and no complaints appear to have been made recently.
