I move amendment No. 4:

In page 5, paragraph (b), line 1, to delete "or in another capacity".

This amendment relates to section 7(b), which currently states that a person may be placed in temporary custody to facilitate not only a court appearance by them but also their participation as a witness or in another capacity at a court hearing. As on Second Stage, I wish to inquire as to the sort of capacity which might be covered in this regard. If the Minister of State cannot envisage another capacity, then these words should be deleted because, to echo the words of the Attorney General, they are unnecessary.
