Criminal law of the kind contained in the Bill must be robust enough to be used in the courts on a daily basis, from the District Court to the Supreme Court. It must be something that jurors understand and categorise matters in ways that will be understood by those who administer justice. Perhaps even more importantly, it must be understood by the public. It must be clear enough to enable members of the public have faith in it. If it was to be rendered an incomprehensible muddle by the use of qualifications and evasions to accommodate all possible psychiatric or psychological theories, it would amount to unworkable law. In view of this I compliment the Parliamentary Counsel because, subject to later amendments by the Oireachtas, this is rigorous and clear legislation. While that does not mean it cannot be improved, it is admirably drafted because it is easy to understand and follow.
