I move amendment No. 93:

In page 29, line 6, to delete "an offence" and substitute "that offence".

These are technical amendments. Section 41 provides that certain child sexual offences committed outside the State can be prosecuted within the State if committed by a person who is an Irish citizen or ordinarily resident in Ireland. The amendments clarify that no new offence is being created by the section. Instead the person will be considered to be guilty of the offence they would have committed if it were committed in Ireland. It is to clarify this and it is quite technical.
