Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages
1:30 pm
Clare Daly (Dublin Fingal, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I wish to make point. All of the Opposition Deputies have tabled amendments on this issue which is hugely important and we are really disappointed that the Government has not taken them on board. The point is that the investigating authority has to be broadened if we are to be in compliance with the victims directive and avoid a two tier process. The victims directive states all victims have a right to certain information, but we are limiting it to information on Garda investigations. Other State bodies can prosecute cases in which victims should have the same right. It is very regrettable.
