Criminal Justice (Surveillance) Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages
John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)
While the use of the term "privilege" generally refers to legal professional privilege, there are other types recognised by law, for example, discussions at Cabinet and sacerdotal privilege. The current wording incorporates all forms of privilege recognised by law. While I appreciate the Senator's motives, I do not believe his amendment is necessary and I do not propose to accept it.
