Transfer of Execution of Sentences Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages (Resumed).
3:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
I move amendment No. 8a:
In page 5, line 39, after "who" insert "is in the State having".
This issue was also raised on Committee Stage. The amendment seeks to make the paragraph read more logically because the person who is to serve their sentence here should be in the State. Section 6(1) refers to "a person who fled to the State", but it does not clarify whether the person would still be here. That clarification is necessary in the section, so will the Minister re-examine it?
