Order of Business. - Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2002: Report and Final Stages.

 

If Senator Tuffy tabled this amendment because she fears this will be done on trivial grounds and in respect of inconsequential matters, I ask her to rely on the common sense of a garda not to waste his or her time going to court and also on the sound judgment of District Court judges who will decide if requests are reasonable. If these safeguards do not avail, the person has the right to go to the Circuit Court and make the case that they have been the subject of an unreasonable order. The order can be reversed on appeal to that court.
