I move that the Committee agree with the Seanad in amendment No. 1:
Section 3: In sub-section (2), page 4, line 25, after the word "order" the following "(except the Emergency Powers (No. 178) Order, 1942 (S. R. & O., No. 174 of 1942) )" inserted.
Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 from the Seanad are designed to secure that after the 1st September action may be taken against an offender up to 12 months but not longer than 12 months. Under the 1939 Act there was no limit to the time for bringing summary proceedings. With the amendments to Sections 3 and 6 that have been inserted in the Seanad, after the 1st September, in respect of any offences committed under this Bill, proceedings can be taken for 12 months but not after 12 months.
