Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Committee Stage.
10:30 am
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
My understanding is that the amendment would provide for a situation whereby a person could be released to assist a body in another jurisdiction, for example, the PSNI. I appreciate what the Minister of State said about other legislation which deals with this area. However, this amendment would provide for the other legislation to be in keeping with it in terms of the growth in cross-Border co-operation and the investigation of crime.
