Seanad: Civil Liability and Courts Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages. (15 Jun 2004)

Sheila Terry: As I said before, following an accident a person first needs time to recover and then needs time to consider taking legal action. The request for a four month period is quite reasonable. The period of two months is unduly short and therefore I ask the Minister to consider our amendments.

Sheila Terry: I move amendment No. 2: In page 4, line 19, after "period" to insert "shall be reviewed every three years and". I welcome the fact that the Minister has the power to extend the period of adoptive leave. If this power is to be utilised to its best advantage, the Minister should be obliged to review the period from time to time. In this amendment I propose that the Minister should review the...

Sheila Terry: I thank the Minister for this worthwhile amendment. We are aware of a number of cases where judges have fallen into arrears and that is unacceptable. This measure should go some way towards alleviating that problem. More broadly, in many cases the time limit is unacceptable and the workload of judges seems very large. Recognising the separation between the Judiciary and Government, is there...

Seanad: Order of Business. (15 Jun 2004)
