Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2008 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages.
Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)
I have no objections to these amendments. In fact, I have no objections to the Bill which is an extraordinary piece of work. Anyone who has studied law or has had any dealings with property will know the complications of this area. The Bill is a monumental piece of work when one sees the list of statutes which are either being amended or repealed. The scope of the work is quite extraordinary. One can gather that from the manner in which it is drafted. Given that there have been quite a number but not so extensive a number of amendments in the Dáil, I hesitate to delve into them now as it might only complicate this very technical area. This good Bill has been well drafted. I congratulate the Law Reform Commission on the extraordinary work it has done in preparing the ground for the Bill before us. Although I wanted to make those general remarks, I have no objections to these amendments.
