Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

I support Deputy Howlin's comments and the Green Party shares many of the concerns that have been expressed. There is greater logic in Deputy Howlin's amendment seeking the deletions on pages 19 and 20, notwithstanding that this House, whatever the views of some of us, decided some days ago to renew the Offences Against the State Act. Deputy Howlin's amendment would have greater effect in addressing the concerns.
