Consumer Rights Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-06-29
============================================================

Robert Troy (FF), Longford-Westmeath

I move amendment No. 10:
In page 94, line 4, to delete “during” and substitute “before the expiry of”.
These amendments are very straightforward and make small typographical corrections, such as, for example, the slight rewording of a section to clarify the law. These amendments are not policy driven; they merely tidy up the draft. Amendment No. 10 is a minor wording change to ensure consistency and continuity with the current position in Irish law on the right to cancel a consumer contract. The proposed language mirrors the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and other Rights) Regulations 2013, which transpose the consumer rights directive that is being repealed by the Bill. It does not change the purpose or meaning of section 112. It replaces the word "during" with the phrase "before the expiry of" regarding a cancellation period. Amendment No. 11 is a minor technical amendment to tidy up the language.
