In terms of section 2, I get the point that Ms Feehily has made about spontaneous notifications. I think there is general agreement between what is proposed and the Policing Authority. I note and agree with her that it probably is too prescriptive. Sometimes legislation is better when drafted broadly so as to encapsulate a lot of events as opposed to a number of limited ones. I detect that there is general agreement about spontaneous notifications.
