Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2024-05-15
============================================================

Niall Collins (FF), Limerick County

This is a minor technical amendment which, the Department has been advised, it would be prudent to make in order to ensure clarity and the continuity of the statute in advance of the enactment of the Research and Innovation Bill. There was a technical oversight within the transfer order of 2020. The operation of one of the amendments to the existing statute preceding the 2020 order was complex and somewhat obscure. This resulted in the omission of three provisions. We want to ensure that there is absolute clarity within the statute to the effect that these provisions were indeed transferred.
