Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

On this occasion I will have to accept the legal advice. Generally, I have very good legal advice available to me on these matters and I have been told that the more correct phrase, as logic would indicate, would be to refer to the section as opposed to the Act. However, the Minister of State has given an assurance that he is not hampered in any way from commencing this section immediately following the enactment of the legislation. With that reassurance, I will withdraw the amendment.
