Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Mar 2007)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: On the Tánaiste's final point, bail applications are often made within hours of an arrest. Is he seriously stating that a chief superintendent would be able to make himself aware of the requisite knowledge relating to a person in that time? That is a strange procedure.

However, we have not seen any evidence to prove this. The only information I have been able to...

Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Mar 2007)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I presume the Tánaiste will rebut the arguments.
