Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I move amendmentNo. 45:

In page 15, lines 7 to 9, to delete all words from and including "including" in line 7 down to and including "fit" in line 9 and substitute the following:

"as he or she consider appropriate and as approved by both Houses of the Oireachtas with the Probation Service".

I will not pursue this for much longer. The purpose of the amendment is to try to ensure that if we go down the route suggested at least some type of approval by the Houses of the Oireachtas is required rather than by the Minister. I argued this point before.
