I agree with Deputy Ó Caoláin. As the date of the Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998 suggests, it is a full 16 years ago. The draconian measures deemed appropriate at that time, but with which I disagreed, have, even by the standards of the Government, long since passed. There should be appropriate time for a much deeper and more meaningful discussion on the dangers of having this type of repressive draconian legislation on the Statute Book.
