Interpretation Bill 2000: Committee Stage.
2:00 am
Michael Kitt (Fianna Fail)
I have been told that the word "absurd" is well used by the courts. This section provides that this legislation does not apply to another Act if "the other enactment would be changed in intent or become unclear or absurd". Like the Senator, I favour more user-friendly language. The explanation I have been given is that the word in question is well used by the courts.
