Garda Síochána (Police Co-Operation) Bill 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages.
This amendment relates to personnel exchanges and it was discussed yesterday. Persons working under exchange would not have the powers of duty as described in other sections. The Bill proposes that the period of stay would not exceed one year. My amendment proposes that the period of time should be changed to three years in order to coincide with the other arrangements. One year is a very short time for a person to familiarise themselves with the situation. My amendment would allow a person to stay for more than one year.
