Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

I move amendment No. 6:

In page 21, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:

"(3) Subject to this Act a fee simple shall be freely alienable by the owner thereof.".

On Committee Stage, the Minister said he would examine this amendment. While section 9(2) does not rule against inalienability, the rule itself is contained in an Act repealed by section 8(3), thus the rule is not stated in the Bill. The Labour Party believes this has the potential to cause confusion and it is necessary to state the actual rule.
