Looking at the issue simply, there is a definition in section 6 of the people who are to be held in temporary custody. These fall into two categories. The prison rules govern the prisoners and those in lawful custody of the Garda are governed by the custody regulations. Therefore, these are the standards set, but the overriding standard is the Constitution. I do not see the need for the standards to be set out further. If we get into doing that, we may be overcooking the legislation. As the Minister of State said, there may be a need in the future to amend the rules or to enhance them and all relevant legislation will be subject to that. The standards are set out already in our laws, our systems and the Bill.
