Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 7, line 28, to delete ", unless the context otherwise requires".

I did not deal with this matter on Committee Stage, but I understand it arises out of the debate there. I understand the phrase is unnecessary following the Interpretation Act 2005, which came into force since the debate on section 2 of the Bill.
