Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service

Réada Cronin (Kildare North, Sinn Fein)
I thank the Cathaoirleach. I had to leave for a short while but I caught up on MS Teams. Going back to Part 9 of the 2024 Act, the changed rules on judicial reviews and the removal of the need to apply for leave, it is true that Ireland ranks very low in terms of our spending on the judicial system by the State. I do not mean what they earn. Ms Denning said we need to see the new laws and the new court procedures bed in, but is it not the case that this is going to be very much up in the air and we cannot really say yet whether we think there will be many more cases arising out of the changes in Part 9?
