I move:—
Section 3, sub-section (6) before the word "rules" in line 19 to insert the words "the first."
Damage to Property (Compensation) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, 1933—Committee.
The Seanad went into Committee.
Sections No.1 and 2 agreed to.
SECTION 3.
(6) In this section the expression "the appointed date" means the day on which rules of court for the purposes of the Principal Act as amended by this Act and for the purposes of this Act come into operation.
In the debate, and discussion in the Dáil upon this matter, it was pointed out by Deputy Fitzgerald-Kenney that possibly the rules of court, referred to in this section, might be amended, and that possibly the appointed day might be construed as the day at the end of the term running from the date on which the rules of court were last amended. That was not the intention when the Bill was drafted. It was that the appointed day should be computed from the day the rules of court were first promulgated and that is the intention of the amendment.
Question put and agreed to.
Section 3, as amended, agreed to.
Sections 4 to 13, inclusive, agreed to.
Bill ordered to be reported with amendments.
Report Stage ordered to be taken to-morrow, Friday, 18th August.
