I am minded to have an inquiry held into that delay, which precedes court delay, with a view to establishing what it is about the Irish system that enables such a delay to take place. We have a much more liberal regime of bail. The Scots, I understand, have fixed times between people being arrested and charged and their trial, which can only be extended in certain circumstances. We have to ask ourselves whether, as a community, all the interested parties in the criminal justice process have put in place the best system for ensuring that trials are brought forward at the earliest possible time, bearing in mind the consequences of delay. I have been contemplating the possibility of having the National Crime Council carry out a study of this area because it is one that requires an objective, independent, high-grade study which would have the willing co-operation of all the interested parties, including the Garda Síochána and the Director of Public Prosecutions. Such a proposal may be required.
