In respect of Seanad amendments Nos. 8, 18 and 33, and pursuant to Standing Order 196, I request the Leas-Cheann Comhairle to direct the Clerk to make a number of corrections of a typographical nature to the Bill.

Seanad amendment No. 8 inserts subsections (5), (6) and (7) into section 23 of the Bill. However, consequential renumbering of the existing subsections (5) to (12) has not been reflected and is required.

Two punctuation errors have been identified in Seanad amendments Nos. 18 and 33.

In Seanad amendment No. 18 in subsection (1B) being inserted by section 51, at the end of paragraph (g), "[comma] and" should be replaced by a full stop.

In Seanad amendment No. 33, at the end of the inserted paragraph 13A of the Schedule, the comma should be replaced by a full stop.

Also in Seanad amendment No. 18, text is inserted referring to "subsection (3)(b)" of section 46 of the Criminal Justice (Mutual Assistance) Act 2008. There should be no reference to paragraph (b) here and the reference should be to "subsection (3)" only.

I respectfully request that the Clerk be directed to carry out these corrections. I can furnish colleagues with copies of the changes I have just requested.
