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

 

While our legal system is frequently criticised and deserves to be under constant sceptical scrutiny to see what is wrong with it and while I, as a lawyer and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, should be especially careful not to bring my previous baggage to a job in which the people expect me to be objective and sceptical about our system, the quality of our Judiciary and the fairness of our legal system are enormously high. One has only to look at cases in the European Union in terms of delay and effectiveness to see less desirable examples than the ones we have.
