Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

Section 8 is a technical amendment. The purpose of this provision is to repeal section 31 of the Insurance Compensation Fund of Insurance Act 1989, which made amendments to section 3 of the 1964 Act. Those amendments are now obsolete as they are superseded by section 4 of this Bill.

This repeal will remove any ambiguity which might arise in the event that section 31 were to remain on the Statute Book.
