It would be of concern if our legislation prevented protections applying in individual cases but that is something we can tease out at a later stage. I thank members for their prelegislative scrutiny of both Bills - Deputy O'Callaghan's Parole Bill 2016 and Deputy Clare Daly's Prisons (Solitary Confinement) (Amendment) Bill 2016. Is it agreed that, in accordance with Standing Order 142, draft scrutiny reports be prepared based on the discussions we have had? Agreed. The clerk will prepare the draft scrutiny reports which will be circulated to members of the committee this week. The Minister will be included in the circulation as an ex officiocommittee member.
