Transfer of Execution of Sentences Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

12:00 pm

Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 19:

In page 7, subsection (6), line 36, after "any time" to insert "prior to the execution of the warrant".

This amendment proposes that the section would state: " The Minister may at any time prior to the execution of the warrant apply to the High Court for an order varying the terms of, or revoking, a warrant issued under this section." The amendment is to ensure that the warrant cannot be varied after it has been executed. I doubt if the Minister of State will have any difficulty accepting this amendment.
