be empowered to hear civil appeals
from the High Court, and should reduce
the volume of appeals, and the number
of delays. The Government expected
this legislation to be passed by the Dail
in the coming session.
Court buildings were to be modernised
too. For far too long, the provision of
modern accommodation for the courts
has been either on the back burner, or
moving at a snail's pace, according to
the Taoiseach. By the year 2000
however, all of our major court venues
would have modern well-equipped
facilities to meet the new demands
being placed on them. Major building
and refurbishment works were already
underway on courthouses in Carlow,
Carrick-on-Shannon, Clonmel, Cork,
Donegal and Galway.
All of these measures should make it
easier for the courts and the judiciary to
discharge their "great obligations".
According to the Taoiseach, the new
Chief Justice remarked to him in
another venue that, had he chosen
politics as a profession, he (Mr. Justice
Hamilton) might today be Taoiseach.
Perhaps, the Taoiseach stated, he was
fortunate that Chief Justice
Liam
Hamilton
opted for a legal profession
instead, and he knew that as Chief
Justice, Mr. Justice Hamilton would
play an important part in ensuring that
the Government was always aware of
the needs of the courts. Among his most
immediate duties as Chief Justice stated
Mr. Reynolds, would be the
preparations for the Bicentenary
Celebrations of the Four Courts in 1996.
As part of the preparations for the
bicentenary, a major refurbishment of
the Four Courts went ahead during the
summer. When the bicentenary was
being celebrated, the Taoiseach was
confident that we would also be able to
celebrate great improvements in all
aspects of our justice systems.
