Seanad Éireann — 2025-11-18
============================================================

Patricia Stephenson (SD), Labour Panel

I move amendment No. 12:
In page 14, lines 8 and 9, to delete “but that have as their main purpose the prevention, restriction or penalisation of” and substitute “have the effect of preventing, restricting or penalising”.
I withdraw the amendment but will bring it back on Report Stage.
