Improvements have been made through the increased use of support measures such as intermediaries and recorded testimony to facilitate the evidence of complainants. In addition, the courts have attempted to ensure that the most vulnerable defendants can participate more fully in criminal proceedings. However, confusing and complex legislation and practices are difficult to negotiate. This book sets out the issues in a practical and immediate manner aimed at assisting those involved in every aspect of criminal proceedings. The evidence of children, persons with an intellectual disability and complainants / witnesses involved in sexual or violent offences is facilitated through support measures such as video link, recorded testimony, intermediaries and screens. These measures are examined as well as recent case law and practices relating to procedural aspects affecting the most vulnerable witnesses in the criminal justice system. Whether for the practitioner, academic or non-profit organisation, this book will be of use in giving a practical overview and insight into the challenges and solutions relating to the vulnerable witnesses and defendants in Ireland today.
