Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 18:

In page 17, lines 1 to 3, to delete all words from and including "shall" in line 1 down to and including "€3,000" in line 3 and substitute the following:

"commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding €5,000".

This amendment is being made to modernise the language of "guilty of an offence" to "commits an offence" and to update the section to include the maximum fine currently permitted by the Attorney General. The amendment was produced on the advice of the parliamentary council.
