I move amendment No. 23:

In page 41, between lines 38 and 39, to insert the following:"(9) Where an authorised officer has reasonable grounds for believing that an aircraft at the airport, or its crew or passengers, are engaged in activities, or transporting materials or individuals, that may be in contravention of national and international legal commitments and obligations, or carrying dangerous material or unauthorised weapons, may, without a warrant—
(a) carry out a search of the aircraft to ensure that it is fully in compliance with national and international legal commitments and obligations, and/or

(b) make appropriate enquiries from the crew and/or passengers of the aircraft,

and/or

(c) instruct the person in charge of the aircraft to keep the aircraft at the airport pending further investigation by the Garda Síochána.".
