Criminal Justice (International Cooperation on Electronic Evidence and Other Matters) Bill 2026: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-07-07
============================================================

Chris Andrews (SF), Labour Panel

Consider where the records go before a judge for him or her to decide whether something is relevant. If it is a big file, does the judge redact all the material that he or she feels is not relevant to the case? There could be material that is irrelevant but could be used to hurt the abused person or the survivor.
