The Criminal Justice Working Group was established in March 2014 following publication of the Garda Inspectorate report on the fixed charge processing system.

The main function of the Working Group, which is jointly chaired by my Department and the Department of Justice and Equality, is to oversee and facilitate the implementation of recommendations in the Garda Inspectorate report.

In July, I received a progress report on the work undertaken by the Group to date. This report was also received by the Minister for Justice and Equality. The report will be brought to Government, for information, in the coming weeks.
