Tom Parlon (Laois-Offaly, Progressive Democrats)

I move amendment No. 22:

In page 34, to delete lines 35 to 41 and substitute the following:

"(a) sections 28, 32(2), 32(3), 51(3), 51(4), 62(5) and 64(3) of that Act are repealed, and

(b) section 105 (certificates) thereof—

(i) applies only in relation to land certificates and certificates of charge issued before the commencement of this subsection and not already cancelled, and

(ii) ceases to have effect 3 years after the commencement of subsection (2).".

This amendment covers two matters. First, the presentation of subsections (1) and (2) has been adjusted to improve comprehension of the section. Second, the Minister proposed to amend the provision relating to section 105 of the Registration of Title Act 1964 following discussions with the Department of Finance and the Land Registry. The amendment provides that section 105 will cease to have effect after the expiration of the three year period referred to in section 2. Not to make this change would mean the land certificate would continue to be required for any future dealing with the land in question, despite the fact the land certificate itself would no longer have any force or effect.
