Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

In many ways the Minister's effort are misdirected in parts of the Bill. We are discussing the quashing of acquittals following new evidence. This approach has been adopted in Britain and recommended by the criminal law review group. There is a great deal of support for this measure and I regret the Minister has not adopted my proposals. I can only assure him that in a short time, these proposals will find expression in law.
