The figures are laid out in a new report from the Criminal Justice Inspectorate
A new report from the Criminal Justice Inspectorate laid out the disparities between NI, other parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
“Unlike England and Wales, the use of police bail in Northern Ireland has not been the subject of any recent significant review, consultation, or legislative change." "Court lists and Judicial, Court staff, prosecutor and defence time and costs, are spent dealing with recurring bail and remand hearings,” said the Chief Inspector.
The CJI also recommended that a Bail Act, first proposed 10 years ago, remained an outstanding measure which could provide greater certainty around bail.
