Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2002: Committee Stage.

 

2:30 pm

Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I look forward to this amendment being included in the intoxicating liquor Bill, if it is not to be included in this Bill. However, this Bill has taken some time to get to this Stage and, hopefully, will be enacted soon. We will have to go through all Stages of the intoxicating liquor Bill, so we are talking about another 12 months or so. On the basis of the time it took to get this Bill through the Dáil, can we expect the same timeframe with the intoxicating liquor Bill? In the meantime, we are without the facility provided for in this amendment. It is a worthwhile one to enable the Garda to carry out its work more effectively. I ask that it be accepted.
