Wednesday, 17 Apr 1929

SECTION 7.

The provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Act and of the amendments of any scheme made in pursuance thereof shall not apply to any case where the accident happened before the commencement of this Act.
Hugh Colohan

Deputy Colohan

I move Amendment 9 on behalf of the chairman:

Section 7, in lines 12 and 13 to delete the words and figures " The provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Act and of the amendments of any scheme made in pursuance thereof " and to substitute the words and figure " The foregoing provisions (except Section 1) of this Act and of the amendments of any scheme made in pursuance of the said provisions (except as aforesaid)."

Chairman

This is merely a drafting amendment to harmonise the Bill with the Report of the Committee.

Hugh Colohan

Deputy Colohan

An accident may happen before the passing of this Bill. I presume the provisions of the present Act will apply to any accident happening before 1st May.

Chairman

That is provided for in Section 1 of the Bill.

Amendment put and agreed to.
Section 7, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Sections 8, 9 and Schedule agreed to.
Title agreed to.
Ordered that the Bill, as amended, be reported to the Dáil.
The Committee rose at 12.30 p.m.
