On a separate matter, the Leader is no doubt aware that yesterday at the Court of Criminal Appeal the father of a murder victim asked the eminent judges to consider that a judge should specify a minimum sentence when a life sentence for murder is handed down. Mr. Justice Hardiman rightly said it was not a matter for the court and that it should be debated elsewhere. I contend that "elsewhere" is the Houses of the Oireachtas. This House would serve a very useful function if it had a full debate on the issue of minimum sentencing. The subject has recently been broached by the Home Secretary in Britain, given the concern about the lack of consistency in sentencing policy in murder cases. I ask that the Leader provide the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform with an opportunity to address the matter of minimum sentencing and take contributions from the House. It is clear from yesterday's case that eminent members of the Judiciary believe the matter should be debated. It must be debated in the Oireachtas because this is where the laws of the country are made. The Leader might consider a debate at some point between now and the recess.
