Even after our discussion, I am not clear what the consequences may be, unintended or otherwise. It is not only about limiting the conditions but also about making sure they are not unreasonable and that people will be able to comply with them. It has to be seen in the context of later amendments which raise the issue of bail supports. Bail supports have been demonstrated to have the greatest impact on whether people can comply and keeping people out of prison on remand. If the Minister of State would clarify it for Report Stage I am happy to re-enter it at that stage if necessary.
