Jim Higgins (Fine Gael)

I have no problem whatsoever with amendment No. 4, which is good. However, regarding the amendment itself and the business of providing legal advice and so on, lines 15 and 16 concern seeking leave to intervene in existing legal proceedings. Assuming proceedings are already up and running, how does it square with the sub judice rule that, at a certain juncture, the Minister will seek to intervene in the existing legal proceedings? The Minister mentioned that when commenting on the amendment.
