Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I move amendment No. 93a:

In page 113, line 13, after "continues" to insert "in being".

These amendments relate to the continuous provisions in sections 113(2), 117, 174(2) and 175(2). The Parliamentary Counsel has proposed that the phrase "continues" should be replaced with "continues in being". For example, in section 175(2) "the phrase BCC continues" will become "BCC continues in being". These changes are being proposed to ensure consistency with existing drafting precedents in other statutes such as the reference to the social insurance fund continuing in being in section 9 of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005. I am amused by the language.
