Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

I move amendment No. 71:

In page 21, lines 42 and 43, to delete "Schedule 2 during the previous 7 years." and substitute the following:

"Schedule 2—

(a) during the period of 7 years from the date of conviction of the subsequent 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

(b) during any such period of imprisonment.".
