Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael)

I am delighted to have the opportunity to bring this Bill back to the Seanad where it was initiated. This Bill is the latest in a long series of measures enacted to modernise and improve public accessibility of the Statute Book and secondary legislation. It is vital that laws and regulations in Ireland are fit for purpose and regularly reviewed and updated. The amendments in group 1 are minor technical amendments and reflect recent changes to ministerial titles. Amendments Nos. 1 and 3 update the ministerial titles in section 1 and Schedule 1 to the new title of the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation and amendment No. 4 updates the second ministerial title in Schedule 1 to the new title of the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment. All these amendments are very minor technical amendments that do not in any way change the Bill.
