Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages.
1:00 pm
Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)
I move amendment No. 35:
In page 13, line 14, after "determined" to insert "by regulations made".
This relates to where the review board reviews its functions under the Act. My amendment provides that its determinations will be "by regulations made" so that we will have something clear on paper. The Minister has already agreed to take on board my proposal that all the orders made under the legislation will at least be presented to this House. This is an eminently desirable amendment, that all the procedures of the review board would be subject to regulations made so that we know exactly what is happening and these matters can be pursued and changed, as necessary, from time to time.
