I move amendment No. 24:

In page 17, to delete lines 1 to 9 and substitute the following:
“(16) (a) Where an emergency barring order has been made against the respondent, such order shall be capable of being renewed for a further period or periods, not exceeding six months in total.
(b) On an application for an order under this subsection, the court shall consider whether such an order is necessary to preserve the safety and welfare of the applicant and any dependent children in accordance with the list of factors set out in section 5(1).”.
