Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (23 Nov 2006)

Maurice Cummins: I move amendment No. 22: In page 30, line 28, to delete "only on registration of a court order" and substitute "on registration of a court order or otherwise". This relates to easements and profit À prendre, specifically "An easement or profit À prendre shall be acquired at law by prescription only on registration of a court order under this section". It appears to be unduly onerous and as...

Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages (23 Nov 2006)

Maurice Cummins: I second the amendment. I agree with Senator Tuffy. There is a problem with hedges. Some neighbours do not give a damn about their property or the other person's property. The last thing they want to do is to go to court. They would prefer to have it resolved in some way. The Senator has made a reasonable suggestion that some type of resolution body would be put in place to solve...

Maurice Cummins: I join colleagues in complimenting the Minister and the officials on bringing this Bill before us. It comprehensively reforms and modernises many areas which need modernisation. I thank the Minister for accepting some of the amendments tabled. The Revenue sheriffs were probably the only ones who were not consulted by the Law Reform Commission on this matter. They believe the power they...

Maurice Cummins: I move amendment No. 2: In page 15, line 5, after "land," to insert "unless excluded from any interest in land,". Senator Terry took this Bill for me on Committee Stage, for which I am grateful. I see that the definition of "land" is included in page 15 of the Bill, which deals with the point in question. Therefore, I wish to withdraw the amendment.

Seanad: Prisons Bill 2006: Second Stage (22 Nov 2006)

Maurice Cummins: As I stated on Second Stage of the Prisons Bill 2005, there will be no objection from this side of the House to the provision of a modern and humane prison service. I restate my reservations about the privatisation of certain prison services. In July 2002 the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Irish Prison Service published the report of the prison service staffing and...
