Criminal Law (Home Defence) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed).
7:00 pm
Paddy McHugh (Galway East, Independent)
The Bill confines itself to activities within dwellings but what about incidents with the curtilege of a dwelling house? Why is the Bill so restrictive? In respect of intruders or trespassers, is it conceivable that a fairly aggressive child who trespasses could be badly beaten up by a property owner? I think it is.
