The Cabinet has given its approval for emergency legislation required “as a matter of urgency to avoid serious disruption” to district courts around the country, the Justice Minister has said.

Helen McEntee said that the legislation will allow for the continued use of gardaí as court presenters, and she hopes the Bill can pass through all stages in the Oireachtas by June 16.
