I move amendment No. 10:

In page 3, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:“Amendment of section 96(6) of Principal Act

5. Section 96(6) of the Principal Act is amended by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (6):
“(6) If the Independent Adjudicator determines that the disclosure of all or part of the information, document or thing specified in the requirement would not be prejudicial to the security of the State or that its disclosure is necessary for the proper investigation of a matter concerning the death of, or serious harm to, a person as a result of Garda operations or while in the care or custody of the Garda Síochána, the Independent Adjudicator may issue a direction—
(a) specifying that all or part, as the case may be, of the document, information or thing be disclosed, and

(b) imposing any conditions or restrictions relating to the security of the State that the Independent Adjudicator considers appropriate.”.”.
