I move amendment No. 24:

In page 88, line 33, to delete "for malicious injuries received" and substitute "for injuries inflicted as a result of a malicious incident within the meaning of that Act".

Amendment No. 24 relates to section 95 of the Bill, which provides for the secondment of members of An Garda Síochána to the Police Service of Northern Ireland. It restates, in large part, section 54 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005. This provision is to account for recent amendments made to section 54 of the 2005 Act by the Garda Síochána (Compensation) Act 2022.

Amendment No. 43 relates to section 177 of the Bill, which provides for the police ombudsman to enter into arrangements with An Garda Síochána, other police services or other bodies for the temporary engagement of persons with the office of the police ombudsman for the purpose of providing special assistance. It restates, in large part, section 74 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005. This provision is to account for a recent amendment made to section 74 of the 2005 Act by the Garda Síochána (Compensation) Act 2022. Amendments Nos. 24 and 43 are technical in nature.
