I move amendment No. 13:

In page 9, before section 9, to insert the following new section:“9.—Convictions obtained outside of the State, that would for the purposes of the provisions of this legislation be considered “spent” were they obtained within the State shall be considered spent convictions.”.

The intention of this amendment is to strengthen section 9 and it proposes convictions considered spent for the purposes of this legislation would not have to be declared to another jurisdiction if a person was applying for employment there.
