I see what the Deputy is trying to achieve with his amendment but temporary prohibition orders will only be sought when there is an immediate risk of harm. We do not want to overly-complicate the process such that an order cannot be put in place because person X or person Y has not been informed yet. We do not want that situation to arise but we will have a look at it and see if there is a way to refine it further. We will have to consult the Attorney General but we will have a look at it and see if we can refine it.
