I move amendment No. 18:

In page 16, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:"(3) Where a member of the Garda Síochána or an officer of the Ombudsman Commission, as the case may be, decides to exclude a person from accompanying a victim pursuant to

subsection (2), the member or officer, as the case may be, shall inform the victim that subsection (1)continues to apply and he or she may be accompanied by another person under

that subsection and may make such arrangements as are necessary to be so accompanied.".
