I might reply on that point before Deputy Ó Snodaigh comes back in.

Going back to the definition of "owner", the Bill provides:

“owner” means—

(a) in relation to land, a person, other than a mortgagee not in possession, who,

whether in his or her own right or as trustee or agent for any other person, is

entitled to receive the rack rent of the land or, where the land is not let at a rack

rent, would be so entitled if it were so let,

The words "trustee or agent" cover the points the Deputy is making, even if the entity is overseas.
