I wish to seek permission to submit an amendment on Report Stage. I am of the view that increased use of the system of community service should be encouraged. The Bill favours the use of recovery and attachment orders and the use of community service appears to be the final alternative to imprisonment. I am giving notice, therefore, that I will be tabling an amendment to reverse the position in this regard.
