PROCEEDINGS OF THE
OIREACHTAS
I
Dail Eireann, 21st November, 195 1.
M
r
.
Gerard Sweetman asked the Minister for Justice
whether he was aware o f the grave shortage of
text books on many aspects o f Irish law, and whether
he would undertake to take steps to provide adequate
text books by giving grants for the purpose to
the Benchers o f the K ing’ s Inn or the Incorporated
Law Society or otherwise.
The Minister replied—“ In January, 1947,
following an investigation o f the matter by a
Committee o f Inquiry, I had the Incorporated
Council o f Law Reporting informed that a sum
of £7,500 would be made available as a subsidy
towards the cost o f producing legal text books
which would cover much the same ground as
‘ Wylie ’, ‘ Carleton ’, ‘ Babington ’ and ‘ O ’Connor’ s
Justice of the Peace ’ .
The scheme which had
been suggested by the Committee o f Inquiry
provided that the Incorporated Council would
assume responsibility for the nomination o f editors
and the general supervision o f the editorial work.
The offer to provide a subsidy on the basis indicated
still holds.”
