In any event, moving to another matter, I was sorry I was not here to contribute yesterday on the matter of community courts, which I welcome and which this House welcomed even in advance of passing the motion yesterday. It was a worthwhile debate. This is something Judge Michael Reilly, the Inspector of Prisons, has been advocating for quite some time. It is highly meritorious. I am delighted that the Minister for Justice and Equality has accepted it and that there will be a pilot scheme in Dublin in due course.
