I move amendment No. 7:

In page 3, line 29, after "Síochána" to insert "or any other authority concerned in the enforcement of the law, including an authority of another jurisdiction,".

The Labour Party believes that the way in which the power is currently drafted confines that power to releasing someone to assist in law enforcement with the Garda Síochána alone. The purpose of this amendment is to enable a release to assist the PSNI, for example, or the Director of Corporate Enforcement. I am interested to hear the Minister of State's response to this proposal.
