Amendment No. 33 provides that Waterways Ireland needs to produce proof and needs evidence. Amendment No. 34 provides that Waterways Ireland needs to give the details of reason for grounds for believing that an offence has been committed and details of proof of this offence. One is entitled to know what one is charged with. One is entitled to know if there is any proof.Amendment No. 36, which proposes the insertion of the words "determining reasonable proof", is similar. We are seeking to provide for proof in this respect other than that an offence has been committed.
