James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I move amendment No. 42:
In page 34, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following: “(8) Where a committal order is made in respect of a sentenced person who has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment for life in an issuing state, the order shall specify that the person is to be committed for imprisonment for life irrespective of whether his or her eligibility for early or conditional release (including parole) in the issuing state was—(a) restricted for the whole term of the sentence, or
(b) conditional on his or her having served a specified term of imprisonment as a result of—(i) a decision or order by the court or tribunal that imposed the sentence,
(ii) the operation of law of the issuing state, or
(iii) a decision of a body in the issuing state, other than a body referred to in subparagraph (i), on whom a power to make such a decision has been conferred by law.”.
