I move amendment No. 8:


In page 5, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following:“ “court” means Circuit Court;”.
It is clear what I want to achieve with this amendment. The explanation that "court" means "Circuit Court" will prevent the cost implications of the High Court being involved. It might not be necessary, and perhaps the Minister can reassure me on this. However, we have to include it to ensure we are talking about the Circuit Court.
