Criminal Justice (Mutual Recognition of Custodial Sentences) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-08
============================================================

Pa Daly (SF), Kerry

Section 58 under Part 5, as referred to in amendment No. 59, states, "The Minister may, before granting an application under subsection (1), invite or otherwise take into account submissions by the sentenced person, the administering state and such persons as the Minister considers appropriate." Where a transfer is concerned, would they include the Garda and victims' families? I am thinking about the UK, in particular. Will the same provisions apply to any proposed legislation when the UK part of this comes into play?
