Court Proceedings (Delays) Bill 2023: Second Stage Seanad Éireann — 2024-03-20 ============================================================ James Browne (FF), Wexford I thank Members for their contributions. Several important points have been raised, for which I thank them. These will all be taken into consideration. I look forward to further debate on this Bill on Committee Stage. At its heart, this legislation does two things. It places on a formal, statutory footing the right to trial within a reasonable time and it establishes a simple and accessible means of vindicating that right. I look forward to the legislation passing. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas. Licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
