On a point of clarification, the Minister has stated that the evidence of a member of the Garda Síochána with the appropriate experience and knowledge of the existence of a criminal organisation will not go to the guilt or otherwise of the defendant. Is that not a point of law that is already well established? This legislation does not give a new voice to it because it is an established principle.
