New legislation that will allow householders to use lethal force when defending themselves or their properties has been published today.
The Criminal Law (Defence and the Dwelling) Bill 2010 allows a homeowner, tenant or visitor to stand their ground when attacked by an intruder and specifically states there is no requirement for the person to retreat.
The Bill also states that reasonable force can result in the death of the intruder in certain circumstances.
A step in the right direction.
