Arbitration (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2026-05-28
============================================================

Sarah O'Reilly (AON), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 12:
In page 4, to delete lines 14 to 19 and substitute the following:
"(3) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that an award made by a body empowered to make awards pursuant to an international agreement to which this section applies is not, and never was, enforceable in the State if enforcing the award would—
(a) conflict with the constitutional order of the State,
(b) conflict with the autonomy of the legal order of the European Union, or
(c) materially impair the capacity of the State to legislate or regulate in the public interest.".
