Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 23, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following:

"(b) in section 2 by the addition of the following new subsection:

"(11) Where a court hearing, seeking the extension of the period of detention of an arrested person, is in session at the expiration of the period of detention, the detention period shall be deemed not to have expired until the court hearing is concluded.",".

This amendment relates to the expiration of a period of detention. The Minister was fully supportive of the corresponding amendment on Committee Stage but said its provisions were covered elsewhere in the Bill. Will he clarify which are the relevant sections?
