Dail Éireann — 2026-06-10
============================================================

Aengus Ó Snodaigh (SF), Dublin South-Central

We are where we are and we have it before us. Between now and the debate in the Seanad, there may be small technical issues, as there always is with legislation, especially historical pieces. There was a question about why we are not going pre-1922. There have been pardons given by Presidents. Why 1922? Why was it not 1937 with the Constitution? Why not 1948 when the executive authority Act was repealed?
