Tom Parlon (Laois-Offaly, Progressive Democrats)

The present text of section 37(7)(d) requires that a freezing order must be discharged on the application of the International Criminal Court or at the conclusion of proceedings of the order. This amendment specifies that proceedings for the freezing order shall continue until enforcement or the Minister certifies that it is unlikely that the International Criminal Court shall be seeking enforcement. Amendment No. 49 based on an Opposition amendment on Committee Stage, similar to amendment No. 48, allows for some useful flexibility.
