Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I move amendment No. 33:

In page 15, line 37, after "abroad)," to insert the following:

"otherwise than in circumstances referred to in subsection (2),".

Deputy Higgins's thinking on this is that using one's sibling's passport to get into a pub, as is specifically stated in section 5 of the legislation, or for another reason, will carry a fine of €500. His amendment would clarify this section because it appears that the fine is limitless. This is a technical amendment but an important one because Deputy Higgins feels strongly that legislation should be clear.
