I agree with Deputy Daly. Is there a benchmark that the Department uses for judicial numbers? Deputy Daly referenced some comparisons with our European partners. Are those taken into consideration?
I wish to focus on the €2.5 million for future-proofing judicial supports that the Minister mentioned in his contribution. Notwithstanding future recruitment plans, is this funding being provided with a view to speeding up the Judiciary in doing its job? Will the funding be ongoing in order to try to streamline back office processes so that there is less of a delay on the decisions and judgments side of the service the Judiciary provides us?
