Criminal Prosecutions
2:00 pm
Jonathan O'Brien (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein)
The report laid before the House last year showed 764 people arrested under the provisions of section 30, yet only 38 convictions were secured. The legislation needs to be repealed because it is not working. A recent court decision referred to section 29. Can the Minister comment on the number of cases pending on which the court decision will have an effect?
