I move amendment No. 31b:

In page 10, line 34, to delete "paragraph (b)" and substitute "paragraphs (b) and (c)".

I welcome the earlier Government amendments which dealt with some of the issues we raised. However, the Government amendment does not deal at all with the issue of remission which was the purpose of this amendment and amendments Nos. 31b and 31c. Has the Minister reconsidered that aspect or is he happy that remission will be factored in when a person is serving his or her sentence in this State?
