Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2010: Report and Final Stages
2:30 pm
Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)
There has been a great deal of discussion in the House today about what legislation may be enacted in the lifetime of the Government. Looking at the Government's press release, it is difficult to assent to the proposition that a Bill on begging should be a priority given the other matters and challenges that confront the country. Having said that, I have no objection to the Minister's amendments. They are necessary in order to bring the legislation into line with the Fines Act.
