I move amendment No. 7:


In page 8, to delete lines 24 to 35.
I take on board the fact that if a person is the subject of a 1 cent fine, it clearly cannot be repaid over a period of 24 months. However, there are individuals who may be fined €100 and who would not have the ability to pay upfront. I accept the Minister's point with regard to extending the period to 24 months and, as a result, I intend to withdraw the amendment and submit a reworded version on Report Stage.
