I will now refer to amendments Nos. 8, 11, 12, 15 and 16 which, with the exception of amendment No. 12, relate to penalties, that is, fines and or imprisonment, for offences under the Act. In the Bill as passed originally by the Seanad the provisions relating to penalties were set out in sections 7(9), 14(1) and 14(2). Section 7(9) provided for penalties for obstructing an authorised officer in the exercise of his powers under the Act or for providing false or misleading information to an authorised officer. Section 14(1) provided for penalties for breaches of the other provisions of the Act. Section 14(2) related to penalties for the continuation by a person of the offence referred to in section 14(1) following conviction.
