Deputy Helen McEntee:

As the Chairman noted, an order as it stands is dependent on a conviction. This section concerns orders that are not based on a conviction. As I said by mistake in respect of the previous section, it is being proposed to extend the availability of an application to any court in that regard. I am minded to support this section but further work needs to be done to amend the provisions. I would have said that could be done on Report Stage but the indication is it will take longer, into next year. I propose we return to the issue and perhaps address it in a miscellaneous provisions Bill. We will give that commitment. If Deputies are agreeable to developing the matter at a later stage, I propose we delete the provision on Report Stage and deal with it in a miscellaneous provisions Bill. That will take much longer, however, potentially until January or February next year.
