Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 40:

In page 53, subsection (2)(a), line 2, after "error" to insert "or omission".

This amendment also relates to the correction of errors. It is good that people can correct errors. I am sure a percentage of all registrations contain errors. The Minister has not included the word "omission". It would appear sensible that a person who realises there has been an omission can apply at some point to have that omission included. I am interested to hear the Minister's views on this matter. It is good that we are providing for the correction of errors. I am reliably informed by my enormous back up team that there is a 15% error rate on indices. I am concerned in this case about omissions. The inclusion of that word would add to the legislation.
