Section 13 of the Bill as passed by Dáil Éireann contained a definition of "employment regulation order" for the purposes of the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. Employment regulation order, however, is already defined in section 16(2) of the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Act 2012. Consequently there is no need for two definitions of the term "employment regulation order". We propose to delete this one in the Bill, which is only a technical amendment. It just makes sure that we are all kosher. It makes no substantive amendment to the Bill in any way.
