Prison Visiting Committees: Motion.

 

To pre-empt the reform would be a mistake. Fine Gael's motion has made some clear points which actually weaken the motion because while its members recognise the positive aspects of the visiting committees and are concerned at certain aspects, they are also deploring it and demanding more. We cannot have it every way. While I support certain aspects of the motion I cannot support the motion as currently constituted. I am happy to support the amended motion put forward by the Government.
