Question 63: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason he has announced the establishment of a second division of the Special Criminal Court, especially in view of his statement on appointment as Minister that he wanted to see the gradual phasing out of the court and the maximization of jury trials in criminal cases; the number of cases currently awaiting hearing by the court; the average waiting time for trials and the way in which this compares with jury trials in criminal cases; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
