Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 June 2007
260 Deputy Fergus O’Dowd asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will cite any and all examples whereby decisions made have been overturned or amended under section 22 of the Interpretation Act 2005; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17860/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe purpose of the Interpretation Act 2005 is to assist in the proper interpretation of statutes, regulations and other subordinate legislation. Section 22 of the Act clarifies that a power to make a statutory instrument includes the power to repeal, amend, or replace it. The Interpretation Act 2005 came into operation on 1 January 2006. Since that date, the only Order I have made which relates to the question is the European Arrest Warrant Act 2003 (Designated Member States) Order (No. 2) 2007 (S.I. No. 59 of 2007).
