Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland Bill 2002: Committee Stage.
10:30 am
Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
Regardless of its merits, with which I will deal in a moment, the placing of the amendment in the preliminary section of the Bill is extraordinary. It is an amendment of some substance and this is clearly the wrong place for it. I have not worked out where it should go, but to put a matter of substance like this in the preliminary section is a fairly extraordinary piece of drafting.
