The non-jury Special Criminal Court will exist for at least another year, after a Dáil vote last night.

It's mainly used in gangland cases, and needs the annual approval of TDs to continue.

Sinn Féin abstained in last night's vote, after dropping its outright opposition to it last year.

Justice Minister Helen McEntee says an independent review into the court, and other anti-terrorism laws, is continuing.
