This section refers to functions transferring on a date that has already passed. I am curious about whether there is legal advice concerning possible ramifications in this regard. I also wonder if this could set a precedent whereby State bodies can transfer functions between themselves prior to relevant legislation being passed or changed and something can be deemed legal after the fact.

Legally, would there be ramifications in that regard?
