I move amendment No. 112:

In page 59, subsection (5), lines 8 and 15, to delete all words from and including "but" in line 8.

We have tabled this amendment because we do not agree with the exception provided in section 90 and we do not feel there is any logical reason powers under the Offences against the State Act and the Interception of Postal Packets Act should not be available to the ombudsman commission when it is investigating a possible offence by a member of the Garda Síochána.
