Effect and duration of orders made under this Act.

5.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, every order made by the Executive Council under this Act shall have statutory effect.

(2) Every order (not being merely an order revoking an order previously made under this Act) shall cease to have effect at the expiration of three months from the making thereof unless such order is approved of by Dáil Eireann by resolution passed before the expiration of the said three months.

(3) Where an order made by the Executive Council under this Act has, before it has been approved by Dáil Eireann, been revoked by an order similarly made or has, by virtue of this section, ceased to have effect, no order, subsequently made by the Executive Council and having the same or substantially the same effect as the said order so revoked or ceasing to have effect, shall come into operation or be effective until it has been approved of by Dáil Eireann by resolution.
