I move amendment No. 92:

In page 23, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following:"(9) The Courts Service shall provide the Board with any Court documents requested by the Board and which evidence or record any recommendations of the Court that imposed sentence on the person seeking parole.".

This is to facilitate the parole board gaining access to court documents, in particular transcripts of statements by the trial judge at the time. It is probably already included, but there is no harm including it again at this stage. If the Minister, on Report Stage, thinks it is repetitive it can be dealt with then.
