The Deputy will appreciate that a Referendum will be necessary to establish a Court of Appeal. And while it is not one of the three Referendums proposed to be held later this year it is my intention to finalise examination of the detail and to progress the matter at the earliest suitable opportunity.

My Department has commenced consideration of the measures necessary to establish a Commercial Court at Circuit Court level in line with the commitment in the Programme for Government. This is a complex issue and detailed consideration will be necessary. It is, however, my intention to progress the matter as soon as possible.
