Vol. 231 No. 12

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Remuneration of Jurors.

54.

asked the Minister for Justice how soon he will be in a position to announce when jurors will be remunerated for their services; and whether he is aware that people summoned to act on a jury suffer a serious financial loss, especially people in employment who lose a day's pay.

As I have previously indicated, remuneration for jury service is being considered as part of an overall review of the jury system. Comprehensive legislation covering all aspects of jury service and jury trial is under preparation and I hope to be in a position to introduce it by this time next year.
