Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

The Bill relates to the registration of wills. The main body of legislation deals with fining and any changes to the system of fining should be left to the Minister. I agree with the overall principle outlined by Senator Browne. I support the index-linking of fines in any legislation the Minister intends to bring forward. The principle is a good one and avoids the need to amend legislation purely for that purpose. I commend Senator Browne's recommendation to the Minister of State but it cannot apply in this regard because we cannot introduce a money Bill in Private Member's time. On that basis, I cannot accept the amendment.
