I move amendment No. 8:


In page 6, subsection (2), between lines 1 and 2, to insert the following:“(d) jeopardise the human rights of a person.”.
This amendment concerns human rights standards in the State. Amnesty International has found that almost every state in the European Union has been guilty of human rights abuses, including abuses on the part of their police services. The amendment seeks to enshrine human rights standards to strengthen the Bill.
