Law Reform Commission to publish report on suspended sentences

A new Law Reform Commission report on suspended sentences is due to be published on Monday, the law reform body has said.

The report comes three years after the commission invited submissions on an issues paper concerning both the principles that apply to imposing suspended sentences and the procedures that apply to them.

The use of suspended sentences had been decreasing in the years leading up to the issues paper, according to figures from the Courts Service.
