Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

Last week we finalised Report Stage of the Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) Bill, which came about as a result of the attacks of 11 September 2001. Did the final two amendments made by the Minister come from the expert group? One was to set up a second Special Criminal Court and the other was to oblige service providers of fixed lines and mobile phones to retain data for three years.
