Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

I disagree a little with the literal accuracy of what has been said. I raised the issue of the Erasmus Smith Trust in which the Abbey school in Tipperary is involved and I received a thorough reply giving the legislative basis, post 1660, on which it is based and which I think will be very useful to the school. This is an indication of the thoroughness which has gone into the work on the legislation. What is involved is not just a matter of glancing at titles and knocking them off our list. An in-depth study has been carried out. I thank and congratulate the Minister of State and his team and the Office of the Attorney General for undertaking the work.

I wish to return to a reference I made last night to Victorian legislation.
