Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)

We were talking about a draft. I am somewhat nervous that we would be putting the cart before the horse by passing legislation this week that might be modified at the level of a European instrument in the not too distant future. After hearing the Minister's statement I am a little more nervous about this part of the Bill than I was before. He expressed reservations about it and felt it would not be hugely successful in its ability to apprehend those he targets. I remain opposed to it.
