Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I said I would reflect on this amendment. However, we are not aware of any difficulty. No evidence has been put forward to support the view that there is difficult in this area. Insisting on a particular level of skill or expertise might only create unforeseen difficulties. Until such time as it has been established that there is a problem, we should allow the present approach to continue.

While I can understand what Senator Bacik suggests, it is unnecessary. It goes without saying that someone would be suitably trained, but it could end up being a point that would be argued about in court unnecessarily.
