Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The details of this have been outlined already in that a €50 registration charge will apply and, following the initial registration, householders will not be required to re-register for an interval of five years. The Bill is going to committee next week. Deputies from the Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin parties, as well as other Deputies, will have the opportunity to put down whatever amendments Deputy Adams or Deputy Martin think are appropriate, and have them discussed and debated. The Bill is required by the memorandum of understanding which was signed off on some time ago. It must be implemented before the end of the year. For that reason, we want to end Second Stage and let Members all get into the tank on Committee Stage and put forward whatever views they want.
