Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-10
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

I thank the Senators for their contributions. I wish to point out, as noted in my introductory remarks on Second Stage, that the Supreme Court ruling does not affect the provisions in statute that provide for presumptive minimum sentences where there is judicial discretion. That issue is not addressed in the Bill.
