asked the Minister for Justice, in view of the widespread number of litigation cases in the country at present in relation to personal injuries claims and the need to ensure that our countryside is open to visitors from abroad and to people from our towns and cities, if he intends to introduce legislation to protect farmers and land owners from third party claims by such people using their lands for sporting purposes and gaining access to our lakes and rivers; whether it is necessary in the interest of the tourist industry and the goodwill of rural and urban relations that such legislation be drafted; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
