Electricity Regulation (Amendment) (Single Electricity Market) Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages
6:00 pm
John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)
Article 4 of the Constitution provides that "the name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland". All references to the State in the Bill are, therefore, correct in accordance with the definition used in the Constitution. This is a standard drafting provision in legislation. Therefore, the amendment is unnecessary.
