============================================================

Frances Black (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I move amendment No.11:
In page 22, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:
“Control on export of military items featuring automated means
28 . (1) Notwithstanding sections 24, 25, 26 and 27 authorisation shall not be granted to a person or organisation to transit a military item through or from the State where such an item utilises automated means to function or has the capacity to be used through or with automated means.
(2) Where a person or organisation attempts to export a military item in contravention of subsection (1) they shall be guilty of an offence.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, subsection (1) applies to the Defence Forces and An Garda Síochána.”.
