Tom Parlon (Laois-Offaly, Progressive Democrats)

This amendment relates to the provisions for discharging a freezing order. The amendment proposes to provide for the High Court to give notice to appropriate persons likely to be affected. The Office of the Attorney General has been consulted on this proposed amendment and its advice is that the amendment is unnecessary. The High Court has inherent discretionary power to give notice, as required, and the advice received is that there is no need to specifically state this. Accordingly, it is not proposed to accept the amendment.
