Ceist:

153 Mr. Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment when she will take action on the recommendations of the special working group set up to advise on the establishment of a personal injuries tribunal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26689/00]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 124 and 153 together.

We received the final report of the special working group on personal injury compensation and have studied same.

A draft memorandum for Government has been circulated to relevant Departments and agencies and their observations have been received and are being examined.

I hope to bring the matter to Government before Christmas. At that stage, I would hope to publish the special working group's report.
