Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage (Resumed).
The courts are not accountable to the Houses of the Oireachtas or the Government. However, they are accountable to public opinion which cannot be formed if there is not some form of publicity about the decisions being made. There are no proposals in this measure to deal with that, but it must be examined and there is a commitment for that in the programme for Government.
