Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed).
1:00 pm
Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)
I cannot put it any clearer. The basis upon which we are trying to restrict it to the Garda Síochána, or the employer for civil issues, is because we are trying not to have too many mediators in the process which could complicate it and perhaps lead to information not being passed on appropriately because of mistakes. It would be far better to leave the list of appropriate people as it is in the Bill. I ask the Senator to withdraw his amendment as I do not see how it could add to it. In fact, it could complicate issues.
