I know the Judiciary has become much more reasonable and is asking if there is a need for certain garda witnesses to remain in court. If not, it is prepared to allow them to go about their duties. We have to get to the point, especially in the criminal justice process, where the demands on Garda time are minimised and where a garda whose evidence is solely that he or she preserved the scene of a crime should at least be able to testify by a video recording, for example, if a written statement procedure, which exists under the 1984 Act, is not sufficiently vivid. We have to think in terms of getting people away from the court system when they are not really needed, subject to the right to cross-examine witnesses where their evidence is in issue. As I have stated before, I hope that in the context of the Criminal Justice Act we will have a system whereby minor public violence offences will be dealt with by cautions accompanied by fixed penalties so gardaí do not spend all their time dealing with them.
