Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions
Court Accommodation

James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I hear the Deputy's genuine concerns on this issue in regard to disabilities both obvious and hidden. As I say in terms of physicality we are putting in that programme to ensure our courts are accessible but also in terms of training for people to be able to deal with vulnerable witnesses, vulnerable victims and all vulnerable court users so they can be dealt with in a sympathetic manner. That training will continue to be rolled out. Ensuring access to justice for everybody, in particular for those people who are vulnerable or who have disabilities, is a priority for both the Minister, Deputy McEntee, and myself.
