Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I indicated on Report Stage in the Dáil that we would look again at this issue and the drafting counsel was satisfied with the existing wording, saying it is a matter of drafting technique. The purpose of including the first of the amendments in this group would obviate the need for the inclusion of the phrase "within the meaning of Part 2 of the Fines Act 2010" in the other three. It is a drafting technique I prefer for the substance and style of the existing draft.
