Batt O'Keeffe (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Unfortunately, I cannot accept this amendment. Sections 13, 31 and 45 require that when a registrant receives a certificate of registration from the registrar, the certificate shall forthwith be displayed where the person practices architecture or surveying. It is only right that the original and authentic certificate should be displayed, as is the case with medical practitioners. Allowing a copy of the registration certificate to be displayed might open the door to forgery or misrepresentation, therefore, I cannot accept this amendment.
