I do not believe there is a need to legislate for this to happen. There is an obligation that, of course, they have to register. The RTB will issue such reminders as a matter of course, so I do not believe it is necessary in legislation. However, if the Deputy wants to press the amendment, I can consider this for Report Stage. We worry about the unintended consequences of everything. I cannot accept an amendment now, without having had a chance to properly go through it, given all the other changes we are making and even though it seems minimal. I need to check this, so I could not accept it today. However, I do not think it is necessary in any case.
