Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

Section 11(4) contains a list of legal interests in land that can be created or disposed of but it does not include fee farm rents. Section 12(5) contains a saver for legal fee farm rents existing on the day on which this part of the Act is commenced. The Parliamentary Counsel has advise that the reference in section 12(5) to section 11(4) is technically correct and I do not therefore propose to accept the amendment.
