John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 94:

In page 63, to delete lines 6 and 7 and substitute the following:

"83.—(1) Section 18 of the Act of 1962 is amended by—

(a) the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (1):".

Amendment No. 94 is purely a drafting amendment proposed on the advice of the office of the Attorney General on duties of collectors.

Amendment No. 96 clarifies that the number to be shown on all collection boxes is the number of the collection permit issued by the Garda. The previous wording was too imprecise in this regard.

Amendment No. 97 imposes certain conditions on non-cash collectors that are broadly equivalent to those applicable to cash collectors. They are designed to enhance public confidence and ensure that personal information supplied by donors is secure.
