Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Committee and Remaining Stages.
10:30 am
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
I move amendment No. 6:
In page 8, subsection (1), line 23, after "be" to insert "conveyed to or outside the frontiers of the State and there".
This amendment is been proposed by my Labour Party colleagues and me, because we believe that the Bill as it stands would allow a detained person to be handed over to foreign agents in the State. That is inappropriate. As in the case of extradition or deportation, the arrested person should only be handed over at the frontier of the State or alternatively outside the State.
