Thomas Pringle (Donegal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

That is what I am trying to get at. I am trying to tease out is whose responsibility this is. Ms Barry stated the Oireachtas has a role, and I take that on board. We have a role, as does the Department of Justice and Equality. The Legal Aid Board also has a role, although, unfortunately, it is not resourced to do it and is dependent on the Department for that. This is vital. We have no analysis of the measures we are bringing in and even the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act should be reviewed to assess the impact it is having and the potential costs, so we can see how the system works or does not work, as the case may be.

With regard to how the system works for people with disabilities, according to the National Disability Authority, people with disabilities face barriers in access to justice and reporting crimes, as well as within the court system and after a trial. Do the witnesses have data on how the system deals with people with disabilities? Do they train their employees to deal with people with disabilities? What special measures would they recommend for people with disabilities?
