Amendment No. 8 was effectively a combination of an Opposition and Government counter-amendment. In effect, it inserted in a new section 3(2) the penalties originally mentioned in section 14(1). This amendment was agreed in the Dáil because it was accepted that the level of penalties mentioned in section 14(1) arising from conviction on indictment were more appropriate to breaches of the provisions of section 3 than breaches of other provisions of the Act. As a consequence of this amendment and on foot of amendment No. 15, section 14(1) was amended by the insertion of penalties arising from summary conviction for breaches of other specified sections of the Act, including penalties for breaches of section 7(9). Amendment No. 11 had deleted the original penalties provisions in section 7(9).
