Transfer of Execution of Sentences Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
3:00 pm
Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)
I thank Senator Tuffy for seconding my amendments.
In our legislation there is a presumption against extra-territorial effect. In order to rebut this presumption, very clear words must be used. I propose this amendment in order to guarantee that this Bill will apply to sentences imposed outside the State and I hope the Minister accepts the amendment.
