Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration whether the Departmental analysis of case duration under the criminal legal aid scheme, including the comparison of 313 calendar days for legal aid cases against 133 days for non-legal aid cases, distinguished between adjournments caused by prosecution disclosure delays, Garda file delays, waiting times for expert reports and psychiatric assessments, interpreter availability, and defendant vulnerability, and adjournments attributable to the conduct of defence solicitors; if not, the reason the Department attributes the differential to the fee structure; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
