Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
2:30 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
Under section 5, if the State joins a joint investigation team, the team will not have been set up with its agreement. The Minister of State mentioned a cross-reference but there is no cross-reference that I can see between the two sections. Even though under each section the State's involvement in the team is under different circumstances, surely there should be similar criteria for joining a team as there would be for setting it up in the first place.
