Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill: Discussion

10:00 am

Ms Ellen O'Malley-Dunlop:

We are very happy with that because victims often will not come forward and report if they are not to be made aware of whether a case is to progress. We are also happy that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has introduced training for prosecutors.
