We have already brought forward amendments in the Dáil that will significantly address the problematic language that was used and problematic exclusions that were provided for under the 1976 Act. Through use of the functional capacity test and by supporting individuals to be able to meet the functional capacity test and be able to undertake jury duty, this legislation is a significant improvement. Notwithstanding that, however, we can continue to examine this aspect and we have the opportunity to do that now in the context of the work that the Minister, Deputy McEntee, is doing concerning the review of the Juries Act 1976.
