No. 16 of 1974Prisons Bill 1974
Public bill · Government · Introduced
The Prisons Bill 1974 would extend the operation of a provision in the Prisons Act 1972 until 31 May 1977, instead of allowing it to expire earlier. The document does not explain the provision’s subject, so its practical effect is limited to keeping that existing arrangement in force for longer. It also formally names the new law and allows it to be cited together with earlier prisons laws as the Prisons Acts 1826 to 1974. The measure was passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas on 28 May 1974.
