As members can surely see, there is a significant range of checks and balances proposed in new section 35A to deal with the issues raised by Mrs Dunne without removing section 35A from this bill. The removal of section 35A from this bill would pose a handicap to our courts in having a mechanism that they would otherwise have at their disposal to deal with the more efficient use of the court’s time during the conduct of criminal trials. I urge members to support new section 35A.
