Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

This amendment inserts a new section in the Bill to clarify an aspect of how a licensing system will operate in practice. Subsections (1) and (2) provide that a principal officer or employee who has a licence to provide a particular property service can only provide that service for a property service employer who has a licence to provide the same type of service. Subsection (3) provides that a person can only provide a property service in the capacity in which he or she is licensed, for example, if a person has a licence as an employee, he or she can only provide a property service as an employee.
