Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I thank Deputy Lynch for raising this issue. We have taken it up with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. The Roads Act 1920 and subsequent amendments to it — not all of which were contained in Roads Bills, as some of them were in Finance Bills, as Deputies Durkan, McCormack and others will be aware — were not cited together in the Roads Act 2007 which, if it was to be done, would have been the appropriate place to do it. The placement of a citation is not something we can do in a Bill of a technical nature such as this, since it would normally be done in a substantive Bill. That opportunity was not taken in the 2007 Bill.
