Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2010: Second Stage
Section 3 deals with the powers of the Garda to give direction. Subsection 3(6) states: "A member of the Garda Síochána shall, upon giving a direction under this section, inform the person to whom the direction is given, in clear language, that if he or she fails to comply with the direction he or she shall be guilty of an offence." What about foreign nationals who beg? In that case what would constitute clear language? What if the individual in question does not understand English or Irish?
