I move amendment No. 28:

In page 20, subsection (1)(a), line 7, after “than” to insert “a revocation”.

These are drafting amendments. Amendment No. 28 clarifies that a revocation of a licence under section 45, issued by a court judge upon conviction of an offence, is excluded from the obligations under section 16 to return a licence, badge, disc or other signage, as required. Amendment No. 29 clarifies that the number of days is 21 within which a licence holder must return to the licensing authority a licence, badge, disc or other signage, as required. Amendment No. 30 clarifies that the period is 21 days within which a licence holder must notify the licensing authority of a change of address of his or her residence or registered office. Amendment No. 31 provides for an increase in the fine as is appropriate for non-compliance with the requirements to notify the licensing authority of a change of address under section 16 from a class E fine to a class D fine, that is, from €500 to €1,000. The amendments are minor and really clarifications.
