Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Report and Final Stages.
The Minister of State may recall what I said on Committee Stage about tautology and the need for clarity when dealing with legislation. In my opinion, the wording used in the section adds nothing to the Bill in terms of clarity. I ask the Minister of State if he will accept the more simple wording proposed in the amendment which, ultimately, means the same thing but makes matters clearer to ordinary people.
