Mr. Raymond O'Rourke:

I would like to highlight the point made by Deputy Stanton by referring the committee to Article 22 of the directive, which states:

Member states shall ensure that laws, regulations or administrative provisions ... only apply to claims for redress based on infringements as referred to in Article 2(1) that occurred on or after 25 June 2023. This shall not preclude the application of national provisions [I am sure the Deputy understands what is meant by "national provisions"; he will have to talk to the Minister] on suspension or interruption of limitation periods which applied prior to 25 June 2023 ...

The Deputy has his parliamentary question.
