‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Judicial discretion bill
Summary
Senator O'Donnell sought leave to introduce her Bill on judicial discretion in murder sentencing and asked for a seconder.
I propose an amendment to the Order of Business. I am seeking leave to introduce my Bill, the Criminal Justice (Judicial Discretion) (Amendment) Bill 2019. The Bill seeks to introduce judicial discretion to determine periods of time that a person shall spend in prison for the offence and conviction of murder, which we do not currently have. I ask that a colleague second my amendment.
