Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
On Committee Stage, I stated that I supported the minority in the 1990 Kenny decision. The minority, or discretionary view, held that a balance had to be struck between rights rather than a rigid view being taken which I would prefer were reflected in our jurisprudence. The question is how can we arrive at that point.
