I move amendment No. 3:

To insert the following after “ending on 29th June, 2021”:

“and

— further resolves that the Minister for Justice and Equality shall commission an independent, comprehensive review of the Act and the operation of our criminal courts to include the development of recommendations that would ensure our justice system is capable of effectively responding to the threat posed by international criminal and terrorist networks, abuse and fraud using the internet and organised criminal gangs, and that communities are kept safe.”

I had discussions with the Minister in the past week with regard to this motion and I acknowledge that he says now that he is prepared to look at the possibility of having a review of the Act. That is very welcome and it is something we want to see happen.
