Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

I share in Deputy Howlin's happiness. On the basis of our accord, I am prepared to accept the Minister's assurances in regard to amendment No. 92 that the situation is fully covered in subsection (11).

The phraseology of subsection (11)(a) is a little odd, in that it states that "a limited certificate related to land occupied by a person other than the applicant for the certificate shall not be granted unless the occupier of the land has given the applicant a nomination in writing for holding the certificate". I was speaking in the context of permission but perhaps the Minister is satisfied that a nomination equals permission. It is not a point I will press, however.
