Vol. 379 No. 6

Written Answers. - Landowners' Liability.

80.

asked the Minister for Justice if he has any proposals to request the Law Reform Commission to examine the question of the liability of landowners for injuries or damage suffered by persons using their lands, often without their permission.

For reasons which have been explained in this House on previous occasions, I could not undertake to indicate, by way of reply to parliamentary questions, what specific proposals I might have in regard to amending legislation in a particular area.

I would point out that under section 4 (2) (c) of the Law Reform Commission Act, 1975, the function of requesting the Law Reform Commission to examine any particular branch or matter of law is reserved to the Attorney General.
