Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-01
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

I move amendment No. 5:
In page 8, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following:
“Amendment of section 6B of Act of 1956
4. Section 6B(4) of the Act of 1956 is amended, in paragraph (c), by the substitution of “subsection (1) of section 16 of the International Protection Act 2015” for “subsection (2) of section 9 (amended by section 7(c)(i) of the Act of 2003) of the Act of 1996”.”.
On Committee Stage I highlighted the intention to bring forward technical amendments to the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956. The purpose of these amendments is to update the provisions contained within the Act, to clarify other provisions, and to ensure the appropriate legislation in force is referenced. Amendments Nos. 5 and 9 update references in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 to replace references to provision of the Refugee Act 1996 with the corresponding provisions of the International Protection Act 2015.
