Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

I have two quick points to make. On Senator Mooney's issue, EdwardBunting's Ancient Irish Airs was published in the early 1790s and the legislation the Senator alluded to may have a reference to it. However, retaining the Courts Act 1476 seems to me to be entirely in keeping with certain traditions of our Judiciary which go back unbroken to the ancien régime, however defined. Unfortunately, medieval legislation and our courts are not necessarily as out of kilter as we might like to think.
