Biological Weapons Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm
Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick City, Labour)
The double jeopardy rule generally applies and the gangland crime legislation was an exception. There are specific reasons gangland crime is an exception. I understand the concern of Senator Walsh. The advice of the Attorney General is generally not published but there may be a way of conveying to Senator Walsh the reasons behind the advice. I do not have the advice in the Chamber.
