I support what Senator Eamonn Coghlan said with regard to the bail laws in this country. There is something seriously wrong with those laws. If a person has 12 penalty points on his or her driving licence as a result of exceeding the speed limit on a few occasions, he or she is off the road. That is it, there is no room for debate. The killer of Garda Anthony Golden had 70 previous convictions but he was out and about, carrying a gun. There is something seriously wrong when this is allowed to happen. The bail issue must be debated in this House.
