Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No.19:

In page 46, between lines 43 and 44, to insert the following:

"

".

These amendments involve two changes in the case of the Court of Probate (Ireland) Act 1861. Further examination of the Act suggests that it might be relevant to the appointment of members of the Commissioners for Charitable Donations and Bequests in Ireland. Accordingly, it is proposed to retain the Act for the time being and therefore to delete it from Schedule 2 and insert it in Schedule 1.

It is proposed to repeal the Poisons and Pharmacy Act 1908 in the Pharmacy Bill 2007. In order to facilitate its repeal and replacement in that legislation it is proposed to retain the 1908 Act in this Bill by removing it from Schedule 2 and inserting it in Schedule 1. The effect will be that the 1908 Act will not be repealed when this Bill is enacted but instead when the Pharmacy Bill 2007 is enacted and commenced.
