Brian Ó Domhnaill: I move amendment No. 35:In page 7, line 20, to delete "21 days" and substitute "30 days". My apologies, I did not realise they were all grouped. I would be interested to hear if the Minister has reflected on the proposal to increase the period for allowing persons to pay fines from 21 days to 30 days. I appreciate that 21 days is the norm but that does not necessarily mean it is right....

In other words, Waterways Ireland would not have to hire in other people to carry out that work; it would be carried out by its employees who are salaried and paid for in any event. They are there from 9 a.m. to 5...
