The purpose of the Interpretation Act 2005 is to assist in the proper interpretation of statutes, regulations and other subordinate legislation. Section 22 of the Act clarifies that a power to make a statutory instrument includes the power to repeal, amend, or replace it. The Interpretation Act 2005 came into operation on 1 January 2006. Since that date, the only Order I have made which relates to the question is the European Arrest Warrant Act 2003 (Designated Member States) Order (No. 2) 2007 (S.I. No. 59 of 2007).
