Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The review referred to by Deputy Martin is well under way. I expect that it will be completed in its entirety by early next year or perhaps even by the end of this year. A working group involving representatives of An Garda Síochána, the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Courts Service and interested parties is being chaired by Mr. Tom O'Malley of the National University Ireland, Galway, who is a considered expert in this area. The review covers the precise point raised by Deputy Martin.
