§ Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Attorney-General if he will give what information is available of the number of court orders made in each of the five years before 19th March, 1968, in proceedings under the Fatal Accident Acts and the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act for damages for the death or injury of a person, by which payments were ordered to be made for the benefit of an infant child or ward of such person.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI regret that the information is not available, and it could not be provided without inquiries being made at every county court and district registry in the country. Much time would have to be spent by the staff of these courts in looking through the courts' records to extract the information asked for. This would involve an amount of work and expense which would not, in my view, be justified.
