I move amendment No. 8:

In page 12, subsection (3), line 7, after "In" to insert "deciding whether to institute or in".

Amendment No. 8 is a drafting amendment which seeks caution in terms of the interpretation of the wording currently used. The subsection, as drafted, presumes that members of the Garda Síochána would be instituting the proceedings as opposed to making a decision on whether to institute proceedings. The garda in question should, in both cases, comply with the direction referred to in the subsection.
