Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

Not really. I am saying the citation draws its roots from the principal Act. I accept the general principle of Deputy Costello's amendment. Different terminology is used to describe this body of 27 member states. At some stage in the future we will need consolidating legislation to make sure there is homogeneity in the language used right across. I do not accept the amendment but Deputy Costello's general principle is sensible and points in the direction of a consolidating Act. When the consolidating Act comes across he can claim credit for it.
