John Gilroy (Labour)

Section 43 is related to amendment No. 24 and it concerns the powers of the inspector. The amendment seeks to remove powers from the inspector. I have made the point about a law being meaningless, which I am glad to see Senator Ó Domhnaill has accepted. Amendment No. 66 again proposes that it would not be an offence to contravene a law, and I cannot understand that. I do not believe any sensible person would understand it either. Amendment No. 75 would also remove the offence coming from breaking the law. This is completely meaningless if the law is to have any force.
