Dáil Justice Committee report will outline plans to tackle crime

THE Oireachtas Justice Committee is to publish their plans for tackling gangland crime and reforming the criminal justice system by the end of the month.

The report will be presented to Justice Minister Michael McDowell for consideration.

“We haven’t set down the proposals yet. We’re finalising it at the moment. But the recommendations will obviously deal with gangland crime, court procedures and the treatment of victims,” said committee member and Labour party justice spokesman Joe Costello.
