Vol. 6 No. 3

COMMITTEE ON FINANCE. - PUBLIC SAFETY (POWERS OF ARREST) BILL: MONEY RESOLUTION

I beg to move the following Resolution:

Chun críche aon Achta a rithfar sa tSiosón so chun forálacha dodhéanamh chun daoine áirithe do ghabháil agus do choinneáil ar feadh tréimhse teoranta agus i dtaobh nithe eile a bhaineas le cosaint na puiblíochta agus le cosaint phearsan agus mhaoine, go bhfuil sé oiriúnach a údarú go n-íocfar amach as airgead shóláthróidh an tOireachtas costaisí Comhairlí Athchomhaire, ar a n-áirítear aon luach saothair a híocfar le baill de sna Comhairlí sin do réir téarmaí an Achta san.

That for the purpose of any Act of the present Session to make provisionfor the arrest and detention of certain persons during a limited period and for other matters connected with the preservation of public safety and the protection of person and property, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas of the expenses of Appeal Councils including any remuneration paid to members of such Councils in accordance with the terms of such Act.

The real purpose of this Motion on the Order Paper is to enable payment to be made to members of the Appeal Council if necessary. It had been thought originally that it might be possible to get people who would un dertake the duties imposed on the Appeal Council without being paid for their services. I think now it will not be found possible to get suitable people, and, secondly, it is necessary to pass this Resolution in order that provision may be made to pay these members. I think the expense will be small, and I think it is certainly necessary that we should agree to pay. It is the only way of getting men who will do satisfactorily a very difficult and a rather unpleasant duty.

Question put and agreed to.
