Defence (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2006: Committee Stage
11:00 am
Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)
I agree with the amendment's principle. I am, however, satisfied that the proposed insert is adequately provided for in section 194(2) of the principal Act in a more complete way. The section allows the military judge to prohibit the publication of information in the proceedings of certain circumstances, such as proceedings for an offence of a sexual nature, in exactly the same way as the ordinary criminal courts.
