Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

This amendment is to prevent section 26(2)(c) being interpreted in a manner that would result in interference with the judicial process, in other words, when a provision is repealed and re-enacted, with the modification that section 26(2)(c) cannot be used to override section 27(1), and enable the modification to be used to affect any case already before a court when the modification became operative.
