[i] The Reformatory Schools (Ireland) Act 1858 was repealed by section 32 of the Irish Reformatory Schools Act 1868 (31 & 32 Vict.) c. 59, with a saving provision for ‘any certificates given’. Section 33 of the Irish Reformatory Schools Act 1868 applied the 1868 Act to ‘all reformatory schools certified under the [Reformatory Schools (Ireland) Act 1858] and in all respects as if such schools had been certified under this Act’. This was later repealed by section 134(3) and schedule 3 of the Children Act 1908 (8 Edw. 7) c. 67, with a saver for all notices, certificates and rules, which remained in force ‘as if made under [the Children Act 1908]’. While the Children Act 1908 was repealed by section 5(1) and schedule 2 of the Children Act 2001, section 5(1) also provides that ‘the repeal shall not affect any notice or certificate given or any appointment or rules made under any of the repealed enactments and every such notice, certificate, appointment and rules shall have effect as if given or made under this Act’.

Therefore, although the original parent enactment of these instruments has been repealed, the instruments remain in force through the effect of saving provisions in repealing legislation.
