Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
While I understand the concerns that motivate these amendments, the effect of accepting them would be to prevent Ireland from establishing joint investigation teams with certain member states. The Minister has been nominated as a competent authority to enable us do business with those member states which would not recognise the Garda Commissioner as a competent authority in implementing their legislation to give effect to the framework decision.
