The Genealogy and Heraldry Bill 2006 was a private member's bill introduced in Seanad Éireann by Brendan Ryan to reform the statutory basis for the office of Chief Herald of Ireland. [1] [2]
The bill was drafted by Michael Merrigan, co-founder of the Genealogical Society of Ireland (GSI). [2] The bill has its second reading in December 2006, but lapsed with the dissolution of the Dáil and Seanad for the 2007 election. [3] The status of the herald's office had previously been the topic of an adjournment debate in 1995, [4] and was amended by the National Cultural Institutions Act, 1997, [5] legislation which the GSI regards as flawed.
