I move amendment No. 17:

In page 6, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following: “Designated court office

12. The Act of 1976 is amended by the insertion, in Part 1, of the following section after section 4:

“4A.(1) The Courts Service may designate a court office as the designated court office for the purposes of this Act.

(2) The Courts Service may, at any time after designating a court office under subsection (1), revoke that designation.

(3) There shall be employed in a designated court office such and so many members of the staff of the Courts Service as the Courts Service shall from time to time determine.

(4) The Courts Service shall, as soon as may be after it designates a court office under this section or revokes such a designation, publish notice of that fact in Iris Oifigiúil, but failure to so publish shall not affect the validity of the designation or revocation of the court office concerned.”.”.
