European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
12:00 pm
James Bannon (Fine Gael)
I move amendment No. 9:
In page 6, before section 5, to insert the following new section:
"5.—The Interpretation Act 1937 is amended by inserting the following into the Schedule of the Act, before the expression 'Rules of Court':
25A.—The expression "representative in the European Parliament" shall be construed as a reference to a member of the European Parliament and cognate expressions shall be construed accordingly.'.".
This is a technical amendment. I would like to hear the Minister of State's response to it.
