Amendment No. 10 provides for an amendment to section 3 to insert a new subsection (9). The amendment is related to the proposed repeal of section 156A in full on a particular day, as I have outlined in respect of previous amendments. The proposed new subsection (9) in section 3, which is a transitional provision, will enable the transfer of any child from St. Patrick's Institution or a place of detention to a children detention school, notwithstanding the repeal of section 156A in full.

Amendments Nos. 12 and 14 will make provision for consequential amendments in subsequent subsections in section 3 relating to the introduction of the new subsection (9).
