Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Second Stage.

 

The Bill gives real clarity in providing that when these people are apprehended, there will be no opportunity for them to exploit any conflict that might arise between jurisdictions. This is important because if they see loopholes, they will dive in. If we are at one with our EU partners and have clarity in our legislation, we will deal with them head on. For our security and that of our neighbours, we must continue down this road and take these people on. If we do nothing, it will have a negative impact on the shaping of the next generation.
