Statute Law Revision Bill 2007: Committee Stage
8:00 pm
Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)
In the Statute Law Revision (Pre-1922) Act, which passed through the Houses some years ago and with which we were all involved, I believe there were two Schedules, one containing Acts that were retained and another containing those that were repealed. Were the statutes referred to in Schedule 1 of the Bill before the House not picked up on the last occasion? Is that why we are addressing them in a clear legal sense now? Are we simply repeating what we did in respect of Schedule 1 the last time such legislation was before the House?
