Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Second Stage.
In the case of justice, it may well be correct that the mills grind slowly. Who wants to rush to judgment in making fundamental changes? I do not know whether the esteemed Justice Henchy, when he produced his report in 1978, envisaged that it would take 25 years to bring this matter before the Houses of the Oireachtas. That is not to say there have not been changes in other areas of the legal system. These changes, however, are fundamental and, as such, deserve considerable scrutiny.
