I will have a look at it again. I think gardaí do have powers of arrest. However, it is the power without warrant that we are talking about here. The provision is too broad. There are already provisions in place for dealing with people who break their bail conditions. All I am saying is that that should apply. I am happy to withdraw the amendment for now. We can come back to it and I will reserve the right to look at it for Report Stage.
