Courts and Court Officers (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages.

 

Some people whose relatives have been the victims of crime were interviewed in a recent RTE documentary. They felt they did not have anyone to turn to for advice. They said that the entire experience was very intimidating. As part of the court reforms, we should do more to accommodate those who are part of the process, although not officially so. We need to ensure that relatives of the victims of crime, for example, feel comfortable in the courts system.
