Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I seek clarity from the Minister. Perhaps he could reflect on the matter. He is reading out subsections (1) and (2) which I understand have nothing to do with the Bill. The new definition in the new subsection (3)(e) will apply to a new offence under subsection (2)(a). Therefore, his quote to the House about taking, retaining and all the other things is irrelevant.
