I move amendment No. 130:

In page 25, to delete lines 27 to 31 and substitute the following:“(2) The period referred to in subsection (1) may be extended where the Garda Síochána,

the Ombudsman Commission or the Director of Public Prosecutions, as the case may

be, is satisfied that circumstances exist that warrant the extension.”.

This is a minor amendment to section 23 in regard to the circumstances in which the time limit for a victim to seek a review of a decision to refuse a request for interpretation or translation can be extended.
