Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Victims' Testimony in Cases of Rape and Sexual Assault: Discussion.

Ms Maeve Lewis:

The O'Malley report is wonderful but Mr. O'Malley made a strange comment that there was no need for more judges. One of the reasons for delays is that there are not enough judges available for trial. Our clients are constantly going to court with a date, which is then repeatedly postponed. That needs to be addressed. We need more judges on the Bench.
