I was going to discuss the EU victims directive but the witness has pre-empted the next question in his comments. I hope we will see more regard for restorative practices and justice in more legislation. Some delegations have made submissions for the study this committee will complete on restorative justice and I hope we will have an opportunity in the autumn to further engage in advancing this principle. The pilot projects in Nenagh and south Dublin are working well. The Minister has committed, through Private Members' motions in the Seanad, to extending those, and the announcement of a community court in Dublin is to be welcomed. I thank the witnesses for their engagement.
