Derek McDowell (Labour)

I am grateful to Senator Cummins for tabling this amendment. It covers the territory to which Senators Norris and O'Toole referred.

Again, this is an occasion where the Senator's amendment has been addressed. I have moved the goalposts between Report Stage being completed in the Dáil and today. I ask Senators to turn to sections 10(a)(ii) and 187(a). Senators will see that under section 10(a)(ii) in respect of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, that has been done. Under section 187, it has also been done in respect of the Offences Against the State Act of 1939. That was one of the Report Stage amendments that was not debated in the Dáil but which was made to the Bill. I appreciate that Senators may not have been cognisant of that fact. It was done in two separate places because there are two different Acts in question.
