Vol. 78 No. 12

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Jury Service.

asked the Minister for Justice if his attention has been drawn to the hardship inflicted on jurors by having to leave their business to attend to State business; and if he will consider the advisability of introducing legislation to provide better remuneration for persons attending on juries.

As far as I am aware, the revision of the law as regards jury service which was effected some years ago by an Act of the Oireachtas has been generally accepted as satisfactory. I have no reason to believe that there is any considerable volume of opinion in favour of a change and legislation is not in contemplation.
