I move amendment No. 13:

In page 25, subsection (3), between lines 31 and 32, to insert the following:

"(a) with the consent of the person and of the state of enforcement, that any sentence or balance of a sentence which the person is liable to serve in the State shall be served in the state of enforcement,".

This amendment is designed to avoid a shuttlecock situation whereby a person liable to a sentence in Ireland is surrendered on the basis that following the processing of that person in another country he or she will be returned to Ireland to serve the balance of the sentence. We suggest that with the consent of the person arrangements could be made to serve all sentences together.
