Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Penal Reform: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Vivian Geiran:

From recollection, some recommendations are progressing faster than others. The one I would highlight is, as I said earlier, the whole-of-Government approach. Progress is being made in that regard. By virtue of what has been achieved, there is still much more that can be done. Very often, it is not legislation, per se, or resources that stop things happening, rather it is the will of the people involved. I include myself in that. If we can continue to build that whole-of-Government, whole-of-society response, then legislation and resources will follow.
