Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
9:00 pm
Derek McDowell (Labour)
Imagine members of the Senator's family and his guests had nasty things said to them as they went in and out his door and he had a neighbour from hell. What crime would be committed by that person? If, in the end, the Senator found that he could not bear the situation any longer and felt he would have to leave his home unless someone came to his aid, what would he do? I will tell him what he would do in North Great George's Street. He would go to a solicitor and get an injunction against that person and say, "Do not harass me, do not address me, do not address people coming into my house, stay away from me when I am going in and out of my house, do not talk to me over the garden wall, do not put banners in your window referring to me", and so forth. That is what the Senator would do.
