Transfer of Execution of Sentences Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages (Resumed).
3:00 pm
Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)
We are sending out a message to people who have a sentence of six or seven weeks remaining that they will not be pursued to complete their sentence. I understand it takes resources to do so but we should be enforcing legislation. By not accepting my amendment, the Minister is admitting that we will not be pursuing people if they have six or seven weeks of their sentences left to serve.
