I move amendment No. 5:

In page 6, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following:

"(6) (a) Where a person is not prosecuted under subsection (1) solely by virtue of the fact that it would not constitute an offence in the place in which it was done, then the Minister for Justice shall be informed of this fact.

(b) On receiving such information under paragraph (a) the Minister for Justice shall, where the person is not a citizen of Ireland or a European Union citizen as defined by Council Directive 2004/38/EC, shall immediately initiate proceedings under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999.".
