Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 4, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:

"2.—Section 11 of the Transfer of Sentenced Persons Act 1995 is amended by the deletion of 'including information in relation to each application made under this Act' and the substitution therefor of 'and the Transfer of Execution of Sentences Act 2005, including information in relation to each application made under this Act of that Act'.".

This amendment requires the making of an annual report of activity under the Act. The Minister said the matter could be included in the report under section 11 of the 1995 Act. However, section 11 appears to require an amendment to deal therewith. Consequently, the amendment we tabled originally on Committee Stage has been altered slightly to facilitate that. I hope the Minister will accept it.
