Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I support amendment No. 23. In recent times there has been a number of high profile cases, in one of which the gentleman came to committee. It is a lacuna in the law that somebody taking an action against somebody who holds his or her permit can be left without any recompense to relief and without any basic costs to live, never mind the cost of taking the court order. If we are to somewhat balance the system and give a chance to those who want to take that brave step of an action against a permit holder, we need to put in place some sort of provision. I am happy to support amendment No. 23.
