Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

1:00 am

Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 19:

In page 5, subsection (3)(a), line 19, after "Court" to insert

"having obtained the opinions of twoconsultant psychiatrists, one of whom is the relevant psychiatrist at the relevant designated centre or the Central Mental Hospital".

The court would benefit from the advice of the psychiatrist of the centre to which it is proposed to send the person. It is not a question of trying to get jobs for anybody.
