What Mr. McCarthy said about the paucity of information coming from the Courts Service is frustrating in many different ways. One of the other resource implications of what we are discussing is the man hours taken by the Garda for one, two or three days, potentially, and not being clear why a case has been struck out. There are therefore resource implications in more than one direction, not just revenue-generating but also the use of resources. I think it is worth investigating. It may also be a signal to the Courts Service from this body that there needs to be a tighter approach to record-keeping on what is coming out of the courts.
