C o m p e n s a t i on F u n d Compensation Fund Payments - April, 1994

(Continued from p. 153) Concluding his address, John Costello said: "the Irish law in relation to mentally incapacitated adults and decision making is in the dark ages and urgently needs to be reformed. As a matter of urgency our Government should request the Irish Law Reform Commission to make proposals for reform in this complex area." The seminar was also addressed by John Dalton, Registrar of Wards of Court, who described the duties, role and functions of the Wards of Court Office. • Tax Practice Notes Readers are requested to note that from now on the quarterly Tax Practice Notes, published by the Taxation Committee of the Law Society, will be circulated with the Gazette. The current edition (Volume 2, Issue 1, May 1994) is enclosed with this Gazette. The Taxation Committee would like to thank Oak Tree Press for its generous sponsorship of the publication of Tax Practice Notes. •
