Criminal Procedure Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-05-18
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I can tell the Senator that the current wording is intentional. The provision was considered very carefully in drafting, taking into account the views of the Attorney General and the Parliamentary Counsel as to the nature of the decision or appeal and the best wording to achieve that. In effect, if the appeal is successful, it is remitted to the trial court to take into account what has been stated. The trial court will then have to attend to the matter, rather than the appeal court.
