Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 62:

In page 79, line 32, after "languages" to insert the following:

"and the document is not in that language or one of those languages".

Amendment No. 62 amends section 81(3) and is being introduced on the advice of the Parliamentary Counsel. This section ensures that where a document is served in the State on behalf of another state, it should be, if necessary, translated into a language understood by the person on whom the document is to be served. The introduction of the additional text clarifies that section 8 requires that the document to be served will be translated into a language understood by the subject.

Amendment No. 63, which also pertains to section 81, was tabled by Deputy Rabbitte on Committee Stage and I understand it is a Labour Party amendment.
