Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I move amendment No. 28:

In page 48, lines 10 to 14, to delete all words from and including "The judge" in line 10 down to and including "annulment." in line 14 and substitute the following:

"Any appeal does not effect the operation of the bye-law pending the outcome of the appeal.".

These amendments concern section 57 of the Bill which makes provision regarding the making of by-laws for inland fisheries. These are primarily drafting amendments required to bring clarity to the provisions in question. The second amendment is required to ensure that any appeal against a by-law does not affect the operation of the by-law pending the outcome of the appeal. It is also proposed to make provision to ensure that all existing by-laws made under section 9 of the Fisheries Consolidation Act 1959 will continue in force, notwithstanding the repeal of that section. While the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel has advised that this is covered by the Interpretation Act 2005, in the interests of better regulation and clarity of the statute, it is proposed to include this provision in this Bill. I move that amendments Nos. 28 to 30, inclusive, be accepted.
