John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 61:

In page 33, to delete lines 14 to 16 and substitute the following:

"(6) It shall be a defence to proceedings for an offence under subsection (3) for the defendant to prove that—".

The amendments to this section are technical amendments that are required in the context of the charitable organisations from EEA areas not having a principal place of business in the State. If we did not make these amendments, such charities might have been committing an offence.
