Gerard Murphy (Cork North West, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 7:

In page 4, line 19, after "sentences" to insert the following:

", including those imposed outside the State".

In our legislation there is a presumption against extra-territorial effect, to rebut which clear words must be used. I propose this amendment to guarantee that this Act applies to sentences imposed outside the State. I presume the Minister will have little difficulty with the substance of the amendment.
