Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Multi-Party Actions Bill 2017: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Dave Coleman:

With respect to the Judiciary and court rules, many years have passed since the Law Reform Commission of Ireland made the report and nothing has been done. I have seen no basis on which anything will be done. It may as well be put into a committee and we can come back in five years, if we are all still here. The impetus is now and the committee should stick with the process. I will certainly help, if we can, and we would be quite happy to give time and effort to try to help. This is a good thing and it should be done.
