Frances Fitzgerald

Ceist:

168 Ms Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the plans he has in relation to the establishment of an independent legal service for asylum seekers; the number of people who have responded to the tender; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26138/98]

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue)

I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 17, 35, 135 and 144 of 26 November 1998. I have nothing further to add at present.
