Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

I move amendment No. 5:

In page 14, between lines 20 and 21, to insert the following:

"(6) The collective citation "the Misuse of Drugs Acts 1977 to 2006" shall include Part II (other than section 7) of the Criminal Justice Act 1999 and Part 8(other than section 86) and those Acts and those Parts (other than the sections specified) shall be construed together as one.".

This is a brief citation amendment to include "the Misuse of Drugs Acts 1977 to 2006" as a collective citation for the Misuse of Drugs Acts as they are now, together with the relevant portion of this Act for ease of reference and so that the terms in the various provisions should be construed in the same context.
