Commencement orders are not normally capable of being revoked by either House. For some statutory instruments it is required that each House be given an opportunity to revoke them; for others this is not the case. If I select part of a prison as a designated centre for certain purposes under this Act, I do not think it is necessary to provide that the designation can be revoked within 21 days by a resolution of either House of the Oireachtas.
