I thank Ms Foley. I have a question for the representatives of the Restorative Practice Strategic Forum. They have recommended that the payment of reparation should take place in a restorative context and should include other restorative actions by the offender. Could they say a little more about that, perhaps on the basis of the experience they have gleaned from their work? Is it possible that widening this practice in the way the forum has suggested could have some disadvantages?
