Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-11-07
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

The advice I have from the officials is that this is how it is used in other legislation and that it works very well. I assure Senator McDowell that there was extensive consultation back and forth with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel on this to make sure we had it right. It is very confident that it is right. I have confirmation that it is the law at present. This is how it is used and interpreted by the courts.
