[24506/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Criminal Justice Working Group was established in March 2014 on foot of a recommendation in the Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System. The Group is jointly chaired by my Department and the Department of Justice and Equality and comprises representatives of all relevant Departments and agencies. To date, the Group has held six meetings and I understand that very good progress has been made on implementation of the short-term actions set out in the report.
Part of the terms of reference for the Group is that progress reports will be made to Government on a six monthly basis. The first progress report is due in July 2014.
