Statute Law Revision (Pre-1922) Bill 2004: Second Stage.
3:00 pm
Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
We should recollect in our newfound enthusiasm for tolls that laissez faire, laissez passer, which was the philosophy of economic liberalism, was about getting rid of tolls and other barriers. We should be careful how and where we put them in place.
I note that the title of another Act, the Inferior Courts Officers (Ireland) Act 1858, would not be used in legislation today because it would sound too derogatory.
