I move amendment No. 18:

In page 14, line 36, to delete “section 32(3)” and substitute “section 32(4)”.

Amendments Nos. 18, 19, 57, 59, 64, 74, 75, 103, 104, 114, and 122 to 125, inclusive, are technical amendments to correct incorrect cross-references. Amendment No. 18 is a technical amendment to correct an incorrect cross-reference. Amendment No. 19 is a technical amendment to correct an incorrect cross-reference. The reference to section 110 was carried over in error from the amendment on Committee Stage to the Bill, as initiated. Section 110 referred to the Lunacy Regulation (Ireland) Act 1871 which is now proposed to be repealed.

Amendment No. 61 is a technical amendment to clarify that the provisions of section 82 as a whole apply to this provision. Section 82 provides for the director to maintain panels of decision-making representatives, special visitors, general visitors and court friends. This is in the spirit of the Bill more than anything else. Amendment No. 116 is a technical amendment to correct an incorrect cross-reference and to make the intent of the provision clearer.
