Tom Shehan (Fine Gael)

With the indulgence of the Chair, I wish to make a point which I omitted in my contribution. This Bill is a cleaning up exercise for the Statute Book. I ask if the language used in legislation could be simplified for use by the public. Several people have said to me that the language used in Bills is such that one would need a law degree to understand it. I ask if this simplification could be incorporated into how Bills are drafted.
