Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Committee Stage.

 

10:30 am

Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 19:

In page 6, subsection (2), line 22, to delete "shall come" and substitute "comes".

This is a very simple amendment. It proposes to use the active voice in drafting legislation as recommended by the Law Reform Commission. We should adopt the commission's recommendations to use best practice and strive to ensure that the public can read our legislation by not writing it in convoluted language.
