Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

The Minister has had a very busy day. I take it from what he has said the court will now be in a position to disregard many of the long-held rules that govern what constitutes a prescriptive right of way. It will be possible to set these rules aside if it can be shown that the acquisition or otherwise of a right of way might, in the circumstances, be just and equitable.
