Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 10:

In page 19, to delete lines 44 and 45.

The reference to section 57 of the repealed Act is no longer required. These references required to be retained in the Bill published in July as amendments to part 6 and the related repeal of provisions for dispensing with residence. Notice of marriage to a registrar under the Marriages (Ireland) Act 1844, did not form part of the Bill at that time. In the context of repealing a range of enactments arising from the inclusion of additional sections in the Bill relating to marriage law, it is no longer necessary to retain such references.
