I move amendment No 13:

In page 10, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:

12.—A person who is a victim of an offence under this Act shall not be prosecuted for entry into, or presence in the State.".

I should have said in the earlier discussion that this amendment does not go as far as the Labour Party's amendment, in that it would provide immunity from prosecution only in the context of a person's "entry into or presence in the State". I recognise that limited strike is unlikely to succeed and therefore I will not press the amendment.
