Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

Where it has worked in Nenagh, County Tipperary, it has been very successful for years. It had a very passionate advocate in Judge Michael Reilly, who initiated it originally. We want to create that kind of provision throughout the country and have that as an option for the courts because ultimately it will be for the court to decide the appropriate sanction. It is absolutely vital in addressing criminality and addressing people's behaviours, surfacing the issue that has caused the criminality in the first place. That is absolutely in our plans and should be coming to fruition over the course of the next few months. I would be happy to come back to the Chairman on that.
