Question 1031: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his views on the fact that the Society of the King's Inns has rejected most of the recommendations made by the Competition Authority for reform of entry to the profession of barrister. [25511/05]

The King's Inns have made a submission to the Competition Authority in response to, as I understand it, the Competition Authority's preliminary report entitled Study of Competition in Legal Services. This is part of the consultation process being engaged in by the Competition Authority, pending completion of its final report which will take into account the various submissions made to it. The Government will in due course consider the recommendations contained in the final report. I do not propose in the meantime to draw conclusions from a process that is still ongoing or to anticipate the outcome of the final report.
