Criminal Procedure Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages
7:00 pm
Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)
I agree with the Senator and I shall be tabling an amendment to this effect in the other House. We shall be endeavouring to ensure the threshold of any appeal is sufficiently high to protect jury decisions, following receipt of all admissible evidence, while at the same time not setting the bar so high that the section is inoperable. If the Senator agrees to withdraw her amendment, I undertake to table an amendment in the other House, which ultimately will come back to the Seanad as well.
