Michael McCarthy (Labour)

I move amendment No. 5:

In page 6, before section 3, but in Part 2, to insert the following new section:

3.—Section 257(a) of the Principal Act is deleted and the following paragraph substituted therefor:

"(a) on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding €5,000 (in the case of an employer) or not exceeding €3,000 (in the case of any other person) or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, or to both, and in the case of a person other than an employer, particular consideration shall be given to community service under the Criminal Justice (Community Service) Act 1983,".
