OPINION OF THE COURT
ROBERTS, Justice.
At issue on this appeal is the constitutionality of the Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act 1 enacted five years after this Court abrogated the judicially created doctrine of governmental immunity. See Ayala v. Philadelphia Board of Public Education, 453 Pa. 584, 305 A.2d 877 (1973). With the exception of eight areas of activity, not including the activity giving rise to the present action, the Act reinstates the immunity of political subdivisions from suit. 2
