Over 560 people skipped bail in Ireland’s district courts (including Louths) last year, new figures have revealed.
Irish District Courts collected almost €170,000 in forfeited bail money after people were granted bail but later failed to appear before a judge last year.
The new figures were obtained by Fianna Fáil MEP Cynthia Ní Murchú who claims they represent a need for government to act quickly on its commitment to carrying out bail reforms, and Cynthia spoke to us on The Agenda this morning.
