Tom Parlon (Laois-Offaly, Progressive Democrats)

I move amendment No. 40:

In page 19, line 4, after "warrant" to insert "or copy".

The purpose of this amendment is to ensure no technical loophole exists whereby a suspect might evade arrest because the arresting officer did not have in his or her possession a copy of the warrant at the time of arrest. This was a concern expressed by Deputy Jim O'Keeffe on Committee Stage. I am pleased to allay his concerns with this amendment.
