Judicial Salaries Increased
Salaries for Supreme and High Court Judges and for
the President of the Circuit Court have been increased
by £1,300 to £1,000 a year, while District Justices
secure an increase of £637.50. The increases were given
on the basis of 7 per cent from April 1970 and 10 per
cent as from 1st January 1971. The basis of the increase
is similar to that which applied to the whole public
service. In extenuation of the new increase a Govern-
ment spokesman said last night that the judiciary did
not receive the last two rounds and that the new
increases, and their salaries generally, are subject ot
heavy income tax and surtax.
The order in regard to the new increases for Judges
was placed on the table of the Dáil last March 25th
and about a week later the Minister for Finance, Mr.
Colley, asked the public salaries review body to examine
the general level of remuneration for the Taoiseach,
Deputies, Senators, and the judiciary as well as senior
civil servants.
Judges received an increase previously in 1968. The
Chief Justice's salary now is £10,720. Other senior
Judges receive between £9,380 and £6,700.
Previously such increases required legislation, but
new laws now require merely a Government order, to be
laid on the table of the House without any announce-
ment : thus the new increases were not noticed by Dáil
Deputies or the public.
Birth Control Information Legal in Italy
The Italian Constitutional Court has issued a historic
decsion which will liberalise the whole approach in
Italian law to birth control.
Abrogation of the existing ban on every form of
disseminating information about birth control and,
implicitly, recourse to birth control itself, will have its
repercussions far beyond Italy. The laws which the
Court is thought to be ready to declare unconstitutional
date from Fascist times and fitted the theories on the
subject both of the Fascist regime and the Catholic
Church.
They have effectively stifled not only the spread of
knowledge about birth control and its use at a popular
level, but have also blocked contraceptive research as
well as teaching and general information on the
subject. One of the results is that illegal abortions are
estimated to reach about three million a year.
Advocates of birth control maintain that a step such
as that which the court is contemplating would clear
the way for a rethinking of the problem in other Cath-
olic countries, especially in Latin America, on the
grounds that what can be done in Rome itself can he
attempted elsewhere in the Catholic world.
The protagonist of this long legal battle is Dr. Luigi
de Marchi, a dedicated, determined, difficult Milanese
who is secretary of an organisation called the AXE.D.
The irony of the situation is that the A.I.E.D.'s member-
ship of the International Planned Parenthood Feder-
ation, which has its seat in London, was terminated in
1965.
