Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 64:

In page 25, subsection (1)(b), line 24, after "prison" to insert the following:

"or in the designated centre (within the terms of the Criminal Law (Insanity) Act 2003)".

I am of the view that the Minister has recognised my concerns about this matter. It would be very useful if videotaping were also allowed in respect of people who might be in designated centres. Included would be all the safeguards to which they must agree, namely, that they must understand what they are doing, be in receipt of legal advice, etc. I would not like such people to be excluded from an area that is extremely useful in terms of pre-trial work and so forth. I hope the Minister will be able to consider this matter between now and Report Stage.
