SECTION 16.
An Act passed in any Session of the Oireachtas may be altered amended, or repealed by any Act passed later in the same Session.
Sir T. ESMONDE:
This might appear to be an unusual Section, inasmuch as it gives power to repeal an Act in the same Session in which it is passed. I take it that does not mean that this Section is going to operate very often, and it may be a useful Section to have in in exceptional circumstances.
AN CATHAOIRLEACH: I think the idea of this Section must be that an Act might be passed in the early part of a Session, that its purpose would be spent before the Session concluded and it would be necessary to supersede it by some other Bill.
Remaining Sections also agreed to.
