Statute Law Revision Bill 2015: Committee Stage

Before we commence, I remind everyone that mobile phones must be switched off. This is important as they cause serious problems for broadcasting, editorial and sound staff.

I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Simon Harris, and his officials. The purpose of the meeting is to consider Committee Stage of the Statute Law Revision Bill 2015 which was referred to the select sub-committee by order of the Dáil on 23 April.

Sections 1 to 6, inclusive, agreed to.
SECTION 7

Amendments Nos. 1 and 4 are related and may be discussed together. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 8, line 22, to delete “S.R.O.R. 3rd ed.” and substitute “Rev. 1948”.

Amendments Nos. 1 and 4 are technical amendments to standardise the reference to the statutory rules and orders collection.

Amendment agreed to.
Section 7, as amended, agreed to.
Sections 8 and 9 agreed to.
SCHEDULE 1

I move amendment No. 2:

This amendment substitutes a new Part 3 table which includes three additional licences that were identified in recent research under the statute law revision programme following publication of the Bill, as initiated. They are being included now for completeness.

Amendment agreed to.

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 15, to delete lines 11 to 18 and substitute the following:

Licence permitting the Right Honorable William Earl of Wicklow to resume his former paternal name and arms of Howard after his name of Forward

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

This is a drafting amendment which makes a minor alteration to the wording of the subject matter of the instrument to achieve greater consistency in language when referring to such licences. The specific change involves the deletion of the phrase "and his issue" which is considered to be unnecessary and which is not used in other similar licences referred to elsewhere in Schedule 1.

Amendment agreed to.
Schedule 1, as amended, agreed to.
SCHEDULE 2

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 368, to delete lines 19 and 20 and substitute the following:
