Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)

I have no difficulty with the amendment and since it will be raised on Report Stage we can revert to it. In principle, I have no difficulty with it or with the Bill in general. I hope that in the course of the dialogue we can secure some refinement of the legislation. The Bill responds to several proposals made in the balancing of the criminal law system in favour of the victims. It is to be welcomed and I will address the various amendments in that frame of mind.
