Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) Bill 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).
3:00 pm
Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
This is obviously something which someone inserted to see if we were all awake. The word "inter" will be removed because it is a printing error. It is not something to which any of us have put our minds up to now. Therefore, a formal amendment is not necessary. I am grateful to Senator Tuffy for trying to work out what it might have been about and for advancing the proposition that it must have been terrorist-linked. However, I am sorry to say that is not the case. Rather, this is a totally haphazard printer's error. The phrase should be "terrorist activity" rather than "terrorist-linked activity".
