Robert Troy: I will address the two amendments together as there is considerable overlap between them. They were proposed by Deputy O'Reilly during the Bill's passage through the Dáil.

Consumer Rights Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 Jun 2022)

Robert Troy: I move amendment No. 10: In page 94, line 4, to delete “during” and substitute “before the expiry of”.
