Immigration Bill 2004 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages.
12:00 pm
Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)
We are amending the Immigration Act following a High Court decision. Why are we taking the opportunity to make other changes? Will this improve the Bill? A keeper is defined as somebody who owns a hotel or other accommodation where non-nationals are staying. How is such a person expected to keep a register of those people? Will they have to keep a register of everybody? Will the non-nationals be picked out, which could lead to confusion and embarrassment in many cases?
