In October 2006, I introduced S.I. No 522 of 2006, Irish Red Cross Society (Directions As To Ambulance Service) (Revocation) Order, 2006. This Order revoked the Irish Red Cross Society (Directions as to Ambulance Service) Order, 1955 which outlined that the Red Cross Society shall not ply for hire or advertise or offer the services of Red Cross ambulances on hire.

I was advised at that time by the Office of the Attorney General that by virtue of the provisions of section 22(3) of the Interpretation Act, 2005 that I was empowered to revoke an Order made under section 6 of the Red Cross Act, 1954.
