Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

If we are to have a second Special Criminal Court, it makes sense to have practical arrangements applying in regard to the transfer of cases between the two courts. It is important that the necessary safeguards are included and I am glad they are. Whatever decisions ultimately emerge in regard to the listing of cases in the courts will be open to the possibility of the accused being heard and decisions being made in the interests of justice. From that point of view, I am happy to support these amendments.
