I acknowledge what Deputy Daly said but I fear there could be consequences owing to the onerous burden placed on the Garda officer at first contact whereby the provisions of the Bill, unless amended, might not be fully met. The spirit of what we all wish to see happening here is in no way adversely affected, lessened or weakened. That is why I am anxious to have amendment No. 4 accepted. There is broad agreement on amendment No. 5.
