Translation, as was said earlier, will be an issue throughout the justice system. Prisoners find themselves in this position struggling against issues of translation, but their experience of the justice system began in the Garda station and moved through the courts. What was their experience through that? We have had sessions here with people talking about the difficulty of translation in the courts. It is a much broader thing which the committee needs to look at through the entire journey of the justice system.
