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

 

2:00 am

Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 132:

In page 17, subsection (8)(a), line 22, after "custody" to insert "and the clinical director of the designated centre concerned may, if necessary, request the Governor of the prison from which the patient was originally transferred, or the Garda Síochána if the patient has not been in prison custody, to assist the members of the staff of the designated centre in the removal and supervision of the patient and the Governor or the Garda Síochána shall comply with that request".

This amendment seeks to have the Garda required to assist members of staff at designated centres with the transfer of patients.
