Maria Byrne (Fine Gael)

The Minister of State, Deputy Brophy, is very welcome. We will now deal with No. 1, motion regarding the Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998 and No. 2, motion regarding the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009. Both motions will be debated together and decided separately. I call on the Acting Leader to move No. 1, motion regarding the Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998.
