The Deputy might recall that during the discussions on the matter, Deputy Sherlock raised the issue of allowing journalists enter the court and record proceedings, and also allowing in court reporters. We made a change in the Seanad. We brought forward amendments that would allow a reporting system somewhat like the family law court reporting system that operates now. The reports are anonymised but allow an understanding of the issues the Deputy is flagging up in terms of different circuits throughout the country. We amended the legislation to allow for that to happen.
