Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I understand the problems that arise from the failure by some member states to accept the Garda Commissioner as the competent authority when requesting information. While there is little that can be done about this, the matter should be raised at European level to see if it could be overcome. In the meantime we must accept the current position and I will withdraw the amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Amendment No. 3 not moved.

Section 2 agreed to.

Sections 3 and 4 agreed to.

SECTION 5.
