Cluster Munitions and Anti-Personnel Mines Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm
Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)
From where did the Department obtain the information that allowed it to draft this section? Senator Norris referred to cooking and stated that 4 kilograms represents quite an amount of material. I agree with him in that regard. A person standing anywhere in the vicinity of a 4-kilogram explosive device when it went off could be maimed for life by even the smallest particle of shrapnel. I await the Minister of State's reply in respect of this matter.
