289 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if, in view of the findings of the review group on public expenditure on the need for increased use of mediation in litigation by the State, he will request the Attorney General and the Chief State Solicitor to initiate a review of all litigation involving the State, initially at High Court level, to see if mediation could be employed in such cases to resolve matters of dispute involving the State; if such a review will be guided by a recommendation that mediation should be encouraged as a rule rather than an exception; if he will seek to have the rules of court amended to facilitate a mandatory consideration of mediation in proceedings involving the State, in an effort to reduce costs, speed up the resolution of contested matters and improve the provision of public services generally; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
