Vol. 380 No. 4

Written Answers. - Co-operative Societies Legislation.

103.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he has any proposals to review and update legislation in relation to co-operatives.

Co-Operative societies are registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts, 1893 to 1978.

The question of updating legislation to make specific provisions for co-operatives has been mooted from time to time but I have no plans for such legislation at present.

I have no reason to believe that the present legislation has proved a significant obstacle to the establishment and operation of co-operatives but I will keep this aspect under review to ensure that their development is not hindered.
