The same issue arose in regard to the non-principal private residence tax and gave rise to a great deal of difficulty. It should be a policy of government, irrespective of which parties are in office, that if something is included in a Bill which goes beyond the original remit of that Bill, the Title will be amended to reflect the change. In the case of Irish Water, the manner in which the provision regarding PPS numbers was introduced has caused a great deal of unnecessary angst. That is as much the problem as the fact that it was introduced in the first place.
