Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages (1 Jul 2009)

Dermot Ahern: On Committee Stage I had substantial sympathy with what Deputy Tuffy is trying to address. I may have referred to the fact that when I was on the county council and we were reviewing the development plan I proposed that we would put in a condition that all future planning permissions would not allow trees to grow higher than 6 ft. because there was an exemption on the building of walls up to...

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages (1 Jul 2009)

Dermot Ahern: Deputy Crawford has more or less confirmed the view I have expressed that this is not the Bill in which we should be dealing with this issue which is really one for local government. People on private property are entitled to cut overhanging trees. That is not the issue in this instance which addresses the height of trees. The issue to which Deputy Crawford refers appears, in the first...

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages (1 Jul 2009)

Dermot Ahern: We would have to define domestic disputes and literally everything, including the kitchen sink, as anti-social behaviour were we to include the height of trees. I respectfully suggest it would be better to define anti-social behaviour in terms of criminal activity.

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages (1 Jul 2009)

Dermot Ahern: Just because I am Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform does not mean everything that is enforceable in court must come from my Department. Other Ministers bring forward legislation relevant to their Departments which people are obliged to go to court to enforce. That is the nature of the democracy in which we live. It is unfair to lump everything into the justice area and say that...

Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages (1 Jul 2009)

Dermot Ahern: I move amendment No. 21: In page 50, line 35, to delete "subsections (5) to (7)" and substitute "section 68". These amendments arise from comments made by the conveyancing committee of the Law Society to the effect that subsections (5) to (7) of section 67 were not sufficiently clear. The purpose of the amendments is to hive off subsections (5) to (7) of section 67 into a separate section...
