Will the Leader bring to the attention of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the challenge facing a juror who must sit beside the family of the accused in court, a family that takes note of the names and addresses of every juror called? This happened recently in the case of a murder trial. We do not have an immediate ability to address this matter but the danger of intimidation of jurors is strong. They find themselves squeezed into a courtroom next to the family of an accused person that immediately and visibly takes note of their details. Even if this is not the intention, such actions lead to intimidation.
