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

 

The Minister referred to exclusion orders. I anticipate serious difficulties for a manager of a fast food outlet in implementing an exclusion order against an individual. He or she will be the only person who can tell the individual concerned that he or she is banned from the premises. I can envisage a great furore arising in such situations. My primary concern in tabling the amendment is in relation to the situation of small, individual fast food outlets, in terms of the costs arising from continuing to pay staff for the period of closure. I ask the Minister to comment on this.
