I move amendment No. 5:

In page 4, line 19, after "sentences" to insert ", including those imposed outside the State,".

There is a presumption in our legislation against extra-territorial effect and to rebut this presumption very clear words must be used. I propose the amendment to guarantee that the Act applies to sentences imposed outside the State. I hope the Minister of State accepts the amendment.
