Paul Connaughton
Ceist:118 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Justice if her attention has been drawn to the delay in having cases heard in the Circuit Court, Galway; if her attention has been further drawn to the fact that some cases may take up to two years to be heard; the number of cases currently listed; the timescale for such cases to be heard; the steps, if any, she plans to take to eliminate the unacceptable delays; if she will consider the appointment of another judge to help clear the backlog; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
