Apprenticeship Act, 1959

Confirmation of rules made by apprenticeship committee.

34.—(1) Rules made by an apprenticeship committee under this Act shall be submitted to An Chomhairle as soon as may be after they are made and no such rules shall be of any force or effect unless or until they are confirmed by order of An Chomhairle, but on being so confirmed, shall come into force as confirmed on such date (not earlier than the date of the order) as is specified in that behalf in the order or, if no such date is so specified, the date of the order.

(2) An Chomhairle may, in respect of rules submitted to it by an apprenticeship committee, either by order confirm the rules (with or without modifications) or refuse to confirm them.

(3) Before confirming under this section with modifications any rules, An Chomhairle shall consult the apprenticeship committee with respect to the proposed modifications.

(4) Where An Chomhairle refuses under this section to confirm rules, the apprenticeship committee may (save where An Chomhairle exercises its powers under subsection (3) of section 23 of this Act) make new rules, and this section shall apply to the new rules in like manner as it applies to the original rules.
