Maritime Security Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
12:00 pm
Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)
Although I have some sympathy with the amendment, I must agree with the Minister. We should take any action we can to speed up cases. It is happening too often not only in this area, but the normal judicial system. We are constantly hearing complaints about cases taking far too long to come to court. Perhaps we might all be better served by much of the other legislation on our Statute Book if there were some sort of time limit. For that reason, the tighter we can keep this, the better. That is why I fully support the Bill as it stands.
