Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

In responding to two Opposition amendments on Committee Stage, I agreed to give consideration, in consultation with the Parliamentary Counsel, to the clarification of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and its ability to make orders when it determines a point of law arising from a judicial review. I have taken the comments made on board and hope Senators will support this amendment, which will have the same effect as the proposed amendment, albeit in a slightly different format. I am conceding the principle but amending the wording on the advice of the Parliamentary Counsel.
