Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

The effect of my amendment would be to remove the following provision:

The registration body may accept as sufficient compliance by a person with subsection (2)(a)(II) a statutory declaration by the person that he or she possesses the experience referred to in that provision.

I seem to recall that the Minister of State might have removed this provision himself. It means that someone can swear to be compliant. It would be a good trick if it could be done in other areas of life.
