Courts listing reform

Summary

The Deputy calls for reform of the costly courts listing system, which leaves witnesses waiting for long periods. The Taoiseach says the relevant Bill has no publication date yet.

The courts listing system is outdated and extremely costly. Dozens of witnesses hang around for hours and days. Surely it should be reformed. If a case is taken, it should go ahead on a scheduled and orderly basis.

There is no date for publication of the courts (consolidation and reform) Bill, although a great deal of work has been done on it. I will advise the Deputy in due course.
