Question 208: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Law Reform Commission in its consultation paper Legal Aspects of Family Relationships has provisionally recommended the establishment of a guardianship register; his views on whether the establishment of such a register is in the public interest and in the context of the recommendation made to not seek an order for costs against the plaintiff in a High Court case (details supplied).

I am aware of the provisional recommendation made by the Law Reform Commission in its September 2009 Consultation Paper on the Legal Aspects of Family Relationships. The Commission has invited submissions on its provisional recommendations as part of the consultation process and I look forward to examining its final report in due course.

It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the State's position in relation to costs arising out of particular proceedings.
