Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

The first grouping is amendments Nos. 1, 3 to 10, inclusive, 13, 17 to 19, inclusive, 23 and 25. The majority are technical in nature and arise from the enactment of the Interpretation Act 2005 which came into effect on 1 January 2006. The other amendments are grammatical in nature. I am indebted to Deputy Howlin for drawing the effects of the Act on the Bill to my attention. These could not have been dealt with in the Seanad because the Interpretation Act had not yet been passed.
