Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I move amendment No. 19:

In page 8, line 38, to delete "in custody".

This seeks to ensure that provision would be made for remanding a person who might be arrested subject to this section not necessarily in custody but on bail. I welcome the Minister's tabling of amendment No. 19a, which has much the same import, namely, to insert "or on bail" after "custody". As such, section 8(4) would read that the High Court "shall ... remand the person in custody or on bail pending the production to it of a certificate". It meets the needs sought by my amendment which I am happy to withdraw.
