Interpretation Bill 2000: From the Seanad
5:00 pm
Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)
My understanding is that European directives, if not implemented in national law on an EU law basis, became de facto national law anyway after two years. I am confused as to why this provision is needed. If EU directives are changed but no Irish legislation has been introduced within the two years, surely the EU law takes precedence.
