- Prisons Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage (7 Mar 2007)
Jim O'Keeffe: Part 2 provides for prisoner escort services. Essentially, we are dealing for the purposes of these amendments with sections 4 to 10, inclusive. I am not in favour of rushing towards the establishment of prisoner escort services. I understand that the present arrangements are working satisfactorily and, from that point of view, I do not wish to put into operation such services unless it is...

However, if the Minister is not prepared to accept it, I will not trouble the House further in this regard. Nevertheless, it...
- Prisons Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage (7 Mar 2007)
Jim O'Keeffe: I move amendment No. 8: In page 12, line 21, to delete "may" and substitute "shall". This deals with issues arising under Part 3 which relate to prison discipline.

- Prisons Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage (7 Mar 2007)
Jim O'Keeffe: The points being made are valid. The current proposed formulation is too restrictive.
