Interpretation Bill 2000: From the Seanad
4:00 pm
Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)
I have no objection to the amendment, but can the Minister explain why it has taken so long for this legislation to pass through the Houses? I also share the concern about the Oireachtas being paramount in terms of laws we make in this House. In interpreting the laws, the courts should give primacy to the intention in this House, as we are the voices of the people.
