Public Accounts Committee

2018 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 22: Courts Service

9:00 am

Mr. Peter Mullan:

The Department is aware of the matter. The criminal justice (community sanctions) Bill proposed to abolish the court poor box and replace it with a statutory reparation fund.

It is fair to say that we would welcome that. Clearly with the amount of legislation that has to come through this House, it has obviously been delayed at that stage. That is clearly a reform we would welcome.
