Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 17:

In page 41, line 28, after "person" to insert the following:

", where the permission of that person has been obtained".

The amendment relates to a person who uses or attempts to use a firearm on land occupied by another person where the occupier has not given his or her permission. Its aim is to safeguard landowners in regard to people who break the law by entering lands to shoot without having permission to do so. This is an important amendment.
