Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of European Convention on Human Rights (compensation for delays in court proceedings) Bill 2019: Discussion

Ms Eilis Barry:

We are not tied to any particular model but we are concerned that whatever model is adopted would be accessible, speedy and at a low cost. Earlier, the Deputy asked how the courts system could be improved. The current court system model is predicated on the fact that people will be represented by lawyers. There is a lot that could be done in this regard in terms of simplifying forms and procedures. These are matters that need to be taken into account in whatever system is decided on.
