Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Second Stage.
Senator Terry struck a slightly contentious note in relation to the Minister's position. This legislation was formulated when Deputy O'Donoghue was Minister. It was he who brought this matter to the Government, in the form of heads of a Bill, for approval. The Minister, Deputy McDowell, has had a remote enough connection with this legislation.
