Seanad: Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Committee Stage. (3 Jul 2006)

Terry Leyden: It was an internal dispute. There should be some way to appeal to a higher authority, such as the courts, to have a licence returned. When the Garda suspects someone of being a danger to himself or herself or family members, a gun should not be returned. The situation I outlined became a tragic one. I sympathise with the idea behind the amendment. The return of a gun should not be decided...
