Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
Essentially this is about fines. It is a modernisation of the provisions in the old legislation, something our legal advisers asked for.
It is to ensure consistency with the Fines Act 2010. There is now a concept called a Class A fine which involves a fine of up to €5,000 on summary conviction. It is simply a modernisation of existing provisions to comply with this new legislation.
