asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the reasons for the delays which have taken place in the publication of the bound volumes of the statutes for the year 1933 and the year 1934; and if he is aware of the grave inconvenience which has been occasioned by such delays; and whether he will take steps to have the volumes issued without further delay.
Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Publication of Statutes.
The delay in publishing the volume for 1933 is mainly attributable to its abnormal size and the number of statutes enacted in that year. It is expected that the volume will appear in a few days and the 1934 volume about November next. Most of the individual statutes are printed and published shortly after their enactment, and I am not aware that any grave inconvenience has been caused by the delay in the publication of the bound volumes.
