Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

I move amendment No. 59:

In page 20, lines 30 to 33, to delete all words from and including "within" in line 30 down to and including "period")," in line 33 and substitute the following:

"that is committed—

(i) during the period of 7 years from the date of conviction of the first offence and, for the purpose of determining that period, there shall be disregarded any period of imprisonment in respect of the first offence or the subsequent offence, or

(ii) during any such period of imprisonment,

(in this section the total period comprising the periods referred to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) is referred to as "the specified period"),".
