E14

Prevous affecting provision: para. 39 inserted (12.06.2017) by Criminal Justice (Offences Relating to Information Systems) Act 2017 (11/2017), s. 14, S.I. No. 249 of 2017; substituted (1.11.2023) as per F-note above.

E16

The amending provision which inserted s. 71A into para. 28A came into effect before the substitution of the entire paragraph by the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009, s. 48(c)(iii). This arose because both pieces of legislation were passing through the Oireachtas around the same time. To avoid undoing the insertion of s. 71A, the later provision has not been commenced.

E17

Previous affecting provision: para. 27A inserted (5.09.2000) by Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Act 2000 (29/2000), s. 8, S.I. No. 266 of 2000; deleted (31.12.2021) as per F-note above.
