I move amendment No. 3:

In page 4, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following subsection:

"(2) The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform may, by order, vary the amounts of money specified in subsection (1) from time to time having regard to changes in the value of money since the commencement date.".

This provides that the Minister may by order vary the amounts of money specified in subsection (1) from time to time, having regard to changes to the value of money since the commencement date. This is to ensure the amounts of fines specified in the Bill can be varied by order so the Bill does not become out of date.
