Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages
5:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
I thank the Minister and his Department. I am a solicitor and most of my work and experience was in land law. It is good to modernise our law. I read intensely the book by Professor Wylie when studying for the Law Society of Ireland exams and it was a great book. Thankfully, I never used fee tails or leases for lives renewable forever in my career as a solicitor. It is good that many of these items have been abolished because they are no longer relevant. The legislation is welcome and I appreciate all the work the Minister and his staff have put into it. I also thank the Minister and his staff for taking on board some of my amendments and for considering some issues further.
