Use of an anonymised jury in the Special Criminal Court (SCC) has been suggested as one of a number of alternatives to abolishing the controversial court.

Other measures aimed at reforming the three-judge court include the use of video links for juries, housed in secure locations, as well as independent barristers to view controversial evidence.
