I move amendment No. 14:

In page 5, subsection (3)(b), line 24, to delete "hours at any time" and substitute "times".

We want to include "times" in place of "hours at any time". That might make matters clearer, given that the provision as set out at present could give rise to a loophole. A Garda Síochána superintendent might specify that the gardaí are conducting business between certain hours. If it was not on the hour or half-hour specified, this could give rise to a loophole. We are substituting "times", say, from between five o'clock until seven o'clock, so that matters are made much clearer and a loophole may be avoided at some stage.
