Limerick East): In the course of a debate in the Seanad on 22 June 1983 on a motion to set up a working party to examine a number of matters including access to legal education, I undertook to ascertain the views of the Government on the subject of the motion.

That work is now practically complete and I hope to make a submission to the Government shortly.
