Ms Antoinette Cunningham:

We have sergeants and inspectors who act as presenters in the courts. The AGSI has agreed with the reform of the courts procedure. We do not believe that our members should be tied up prosecuting court cases. We believe it is a matter for the Courts Service and for solicitors and barristers to prosecute in court. We would welcome engagement on the issue of where Garda resources would be better spent rather than prosecuting cases in court.
