Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

I suppose some Acts, such as the Slave Trade Act and the Night Poaching Act, would not be of significant relevance today. However, I see some relevance with regard to company legislation. Looking at the situation, I take the view we must rely on the official advice as to the best way to frame the approach for the Acts being repealed and the saver clauses or the question of anything done under the Acts when in operation. I accept the Minister's amendment.
