On the pace of prosecutions getting through the courts, it has been suggested previously that the Circuit Court could sit earlier and perhaps hold trials in September. In England, the riots during August were dealt with relatively quickly, or at least much more quickly than they would be in Ireland. Is the Minister happy with the pace of prosecutions in general here compared with that in other jurisdictions?
