Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed)
2:00 pm
Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)
I move amendmentNo. 24:
In page 8, line 15, to delete "may" and substitute "shall".
If a court believes publication would prejudice a trial, then I believe it should definitely prevent this. Hence the change from "may" to "shall" to ensure that in all cases where a court believes a future trial might be prejudiced, publication is prevented. Amendment No. 29 would have the same effect, to make matters more definite rather than leave them open ended.
