Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Report and Final Stages.
4:00 pm
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
Amendment No. 42 which was taken with amendment No. 31, which reduced the period of referral from 28 to 14 days, might meet the point of Senator Henry's amendment. Otherwise the Minister is opposed to the amendment for the reasons already stated in regard to amendments Nos. 22 and 30. If the consultant psychiatrist or the designated centre refuse to accept the person, what are the courts to do?
