Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

As I stated on Committee Stage, the issue of civil or criminal liability could not arise unless there was a breach of an enactment or rule of law. The section specifically states that in the circumstances set out, it would not constitute such a breach. The inclusion of an express reference to liability is not required. while I appreciate the intention of the amendment, I cannot accept it.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Bill, as amended, received for final consideration.

Question proposed: "That the Bill do now pass".
