Criminal Procedure Bill 2009 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages
3:00 pm
Lisa McDonald (Fianna Fail)
I welcome the refinement of this section. As the Minister said, the protection of the right to jury trial is paramount to all accused and acquitted. The clarification in respect of the Supreme Court's decision when dealing with prejudice appeals and evidential rulings is welcome. I believe this section strengthens the Bill.
