Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

On Tuesday next. I thank the Minister of State. I am conscious of the reference in section 1 to the victim. However, if there is anything he can do in the interim period prior to Report Stage to reinforce the position of the victim, I believe that would be welcomed. The Minister of State has been very amenable in this regard.

Report Stage ordered for Tuesday, 21 October 2003.

Sitting suspended at 1.15 p.m. and resumed at 2p.m.
