Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 54:

In page 23, after line 49, to insert the following:

"(5) In this section, "specified", means fees which have been specified by the registration body with the agreement of the Minister.".

This was proposed to me by people who are not members of the institute and is really a safeguard by which the registration body would be able to set fees that would be subject to the agreement of the Minister. In other words, the registration body could calculate what the appropriate fee should be according to its assessment of the costs, including the administrative costs, but the Minister would sign it off to ensure an excessive fee was not charged.
