I am in broad agreement with Deputy Ó Snodaigh's viewpoint. There is a difficulty because every case depends on its own facts. The legislation will give the registrar discretion, but in exercising this discretion he or she must examine various issues and obviously this list is not exhaustive. If one does not pass the test on one or two of the issues, it does not necessarily mean there will be a conclusion against one. The balance is difficult to achieve. The Minister of State has probably done the best job he could in trying to find a balance because an individual decision will be made in each individual case.
