I move amendment No. 23:

In page 10, line 24, before "Any" to insert "The High Court shall direct that".

This amendment arises from recommendations on the observations of the Human Rights Commission. In its document it asked that the Bill be amended to provide that the High Court shall direct that all sentences imposed in a designated country shall be excised of any condition or additional element that would not be imposed by an Irish court. This is my intended effect. Will the Minister accept amendments Nos. 23 and 24 to ensure that the High Court shall direct on these issues?
