It might be worth noting that following consultation with the statute law revision unit in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, the Smuggling Acts 1805 and 1819 were discovered to be still extant in respect of Ireland, although they had been repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1825 in respect of the rest of the then United Kingdom. All of us, as the good republicans we are, will be very interested to note that.
