Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm
Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)
It is not an established principle, it is an established fact in regard to terrorist offences but not for anything else. For ordinary crime a chief superintendent cannot give evidence that he believes one is guilty of an offence. He can do so in respect of certain offences under the Offences against the State Act. We had not gone that far in this legislation.
