This might appear to be an unusual Section, inasmuch as it gives power to repeal an Act in the same Session in which it is passed. I take it that does not mean that this Section is going to operate very often, and it may be a useful Section to have in in exceptional circumstances.
THIRD STAGE. SEANAD IN COMMITTEE.
Sections 1 to 15, inclusive, agreed to.
SECTION 16.
An Act passed in any Session of the Oireachtas may be altered amended, or repealed by any Act passed later in the same Session.
AN CATHAOIRLEACH
I think the idea of this Section must be that an Act might be passed in the early part of a Session, that its purpose would be spent before the Session concluded and it would be necessary to supersede it by some other Bill.
Section put and agreed to.
Remaining Sections also agreed to.
