Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I am repealing the relevant provisions of the 2007 Act in order to ensure the extremely onerous penalties to which I refer will no longer apply. These penalties were approved by Deputies Mattie McGrath and Éamon Ó Cuív and all of those who were members of or supported the previous Fianna Fáil-led Government.
