What the debate was about

Auto-generated

We will now deal with No. 5, motion regarding the continuance of the Offences Against the State (Amendment) Act 1998 and No. 6, motion regarding the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009. They seek the approval of the Seanad to continue in force provisions in the Offences Against the State (Amendment) Act 1998 aimed at tackling terrorism and the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009 in respect of organised crime.

I note that Sinn Féin, which has never supported the Offences Against the State Acts or the Special Criminal Court, has tabled an amendment calling for legislation to give effect to the recommendations of the review group as soon as possible.
