I agree with what Deputy Daly has said. The main purpose of the legislation is to transpose the directive. The directive has a definition of restorative justice. That is why the right of access to information on restorative justice and the right to safeguards on the use of restorative justice should be included in the Bill. I note that a reference to restorative justice was included in the scheme of the Bill and I believe it should be included in the legislation.
