Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

This amendment is intended to bring section 118 of the Bill into line with section 47 of the Statute of Limitations Act 1957, which provides that for the purpose of the extension of the limitation period in certain circumstances, such as disability or fraud, the date of accrual of a right of action on a judgment mortgage is the date upon which the judgment became enforceable and not the date on which it was originally registered as a mortgage.
