Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm
Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)
Either is acceptable. If a section is inserted in lieu of another one, it is substituted. The draftsman prefers "inserted" and the Senator's colleagues in the Labour Party prefer "as substituted". I am indifferent. Rather than bringing the Bill back to the Dáil, I will stick with "inserted".
