There is a saver for regulations in s. 81: - (2) If and in so far as a provision of this Chapter operates, as from the day appointed under section 86 , in substitution for a provision of the repealed enactments, any order or regulation made or having effect as if made, and any thing done or having effect as if done, under the substituted provision before that day shall be treated as from that day as if it were an order or regulation made or a thing done under such provision of this Chapter. It is unclear whether these regulations are caught by the saver. This SI is also enabled by Finance Act 1984 (9/1984), s. 75, which remains in force. The SI refers widely to S.I. No. 57 of 1979, which was revoked by Finance (No. 2) Act 1992 (28/1992), s. 5, by way of an amendment to Finance Act 1992 (9/1992).

No. 57 of 1979, which was revoked by Finance (No. 2) Act 1992 (28/1992), s. 5, by way of an amendment to Finance Act 1992 (9/1992). It is the view of the Revenue Commissioners that the circumstances giving rise to these duties no longer exist; this SI should be revoked.
156 The original enabling provision, Finance (Excise Duty on Tobacco Products) Act 1977 (32/1977) was repealed by Finance Act 2005 (5/2005), ss. 81 (1), 86 and sch. 3 part 1. There is a saver for regulations in s. 81: (see above). However a new tax stamp system was put in place by the 2005 Act, superseding the tax stamps provided for in the substituted s. 74 of the 1977 Act. This SI is therefore obsolete and should be revoked.

165 This Order appoints the date for coming into operation of the main provisions of the Finance Act, 1994 relating to use of tax stamps for excise duty purposes on cigarette packages and for particular provisions relating to the same system (Part II ch. I, ss. 67-77). S. 67 concerns definitions, ss. 68-75 amend 32/1977, since repealed. S. 76 amends Finance Act 1939 (18/1939) although para. (b) inserts two definitions which refer to 32/1977, repealed. S. 77 concerns commencement of that chapter.

(b) inserts two definitions which refer to 32/1977, repealed. S. 77 concerns commencement of this chapter. Revenue consider that this order is obsolete as the provisions of the Finance Act 1994 have been replaced by current legislation. As the SI relates to tobacco products other than cigarettes, the commencement of s. 76 (which deals with cigarettes only) is not relevant to this SI. It is therefore obsolete and should be revoked.
