Taoiseach seeks public's help in making laws ‘user-friendly’

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today announced a two-month long public consultation process on the programme to restate existing legislation.

The Statute Law Restatement Programme aims to make legislation more user-friendly and accessible by updating existing acts to incorporate all changes made by subsequent acts or statutory instruments. Restatements do not alter the effect of the law in any way.
