Victims' Rights Bill 2008: Second Stage.
8:00 pm
Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)
Section 5 provides that any person who deals with a victim shall treat the victim with courtesy, compassion and respect for dignity and privacy. Section 6 provides that a victim shall have access to services that are responsive to needs in so far as resources are available. The equivalent provisions in the New Zealand legislation use the word "should".
