Interpretation Bill 2000: Committee Stage.
2:00 am
Brendan Ryan (Labour)
No, the rainbow Government was in power. That was one of our big mistakes.
I would not be in favour of this amendment. However, the Oireachtas should set up a process of continuous revision of statute law. It would be useful to have a committee of the Oireachtas to examine statute law and also to respond to the Law Reform Commission's occasional submissions on legislation that is defunct. I will have a few queries later about the fact that apparently legislation can never lapse and what this might mean. I am not in favour of the amendment.
