- Fines Bill 2009: Order for Report Stage. (3 Mar 2010)
Dermot Ahern: I move: "That Report Stage be taken now."
- Fines Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages. (3 Mar 2010)
Dermot Ahern: I move amendment No. 1: In page 3, line 27, to delete "Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform" and substitute "Minister". The Bill contains one reference to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, which is in section 1(2). In the extensive list of amendments I propose today, there are two further references in the new section 19 that deal with the appointment of receivers....

- Fines Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages. (3 Mar 2010)
Dermot Ahern: When we discussed this issue, I expressed sympathy with the effort by Deputies to take into the legislation power to vary by means of secondary legislation. They said it would be simpler and more straightforward. While it would be, we went back to the Office of the Attorney General and the legal advice is that it still remains the safer option to deal with it in primary legislation. I...

- Fines Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages. (3 Mar 2010)
Dermot Ahern: In practical terms this amendment seeks to define the expression "maximum fine" for the purpose of the use of that expression in section 8, which provides for an increase in the amount of certain fines on conviction or indictment. The amendment seeks to include in the meaning of "maximum fine" a fixed fine and, in effect - if I can use a non-legal term - to unfix it. We do not have many...
- Fines Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages. (3 Mar 2010)
Dermot Ahern: On Committee Stage I consulted the draftsman of the Bill, who advised there is no need for this amendment. The definition of "enactment" in section 2 adequately covers the intent of the amendment and, in the view of the drafter, leaves no gaps.
- Fines Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages. (3 Mar 2010)
Dermot Ahern: On Committee Stage we listened to what the Deputy had to say. We are still unsure that the amendments the Deputy proposes would have the effect he seeks. I suggest we should leave it for now and I guarantee we will consider the issue between now and the time the Bill goes to the Seanad. The inclusion of the first three of the Deputy's amendments would seem to obviate the necessity for the...
- Fines Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages. (3 Mar 2010)
Dermot Ahern: It is always based on the date when the offence is committed, not the conviction. We will take a more detailed look at the issue in the context of what the Deputy has said.
- Fines Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages. (3 Mar 2010)
Dermot Ahern: I move amendment No. 10: In page 4, line 18, to delete "guilty of" and substitute "who commits". On Committee Stage I undertook to consult with the Parliamentary Counsel to see if we could accept the amendments being proposed by Deputy Sherlock or amendments similar to those being proposed. We accept the point made by Deputy Sherlock and as a result have drafted these amendments to address...
