I move amendment No. 27:

In page 6, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following: “Amendment of section 35 of Act of 1976

22. Section 35 of the Act of 1976 is amended by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (1)—

(c) a judge,

with the intention of evading jury service, he or she shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding €500.”.”.
