Mr. Dara Hayes:

I will answer the question about video links. One of the issues Deputy Kenny raised, which is the answer to this question to a degree, is resources. Not every courtroom is equipped for video links. For example, not every courtroom in the Criminal Courts of Justice, which is a very modern building that has been in use for a little over ten years, is equipped to take evidence by way of video link and not every courtroom around the country is able to do so. The situation is getting better and it has got better over the last half decade and decade. One of the things that currently restricts that option is the availability of resources. People who are entitled to give evidence by way of video link are not being prevented from doing so by a lack of options or resources, but these add to the delays because only a certain number of trials can proceed at any one time. It can add to the delays. The more resources we have, the better the situation would be.
