Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 44:

In page 8, subsection (8), line 6, to delete "should in the circumstances have known" and substitute ", in the circumstances, could reasonably have been expected to have known".

This is an important issue and I ask the Minister of State to consider it. If the system errs, the person involved will pay the price, which is unfair. This is why I tabled the amendment. Moreover, this provision is outlined in the Bill in a somewhat tough manner and appears to be unreasonable. I ask the Minister of State to accept the amendment.
