(3) A Provisional Order made under this section shall be of no force whatever unless and until it is confirmed by Act of the Oireachtas and if, while the Bill confirming any such Order is pending in either House of the Oireachtas, a petition is presented against the Order, the Bill may be referred to a Select Committee, and the petitioner shall be allowed to appear and oppose as in the case of Private Bills, and any Act confirming any Provisional Order under this section may be repealed, altered, or amended by a Provisional Order made and confirmed in like manner.
