I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to introduce a requirement for offenders to make reparation for injury suffered by victims or damage caused to property as a direct result of the commission by the offender of a criminal offence; to provide for recognition to be afforded to voluntary pre-trial reparation at sentencing; to provide for post-conviction reparation; to provide for deductions to be made from a person's income or social welfare payment if required; to provide for recognition to be afforded to offenders who assist in the recovery of stolen goods and to provide for related matters.
