Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 22:

In page 8, line 2, after "completed" to insert "as certified by a professional person".

I note the Minister has referred to the difficulty of certifying completion and issues of professional indemnity insurance, but I would have thought that in this section we would have some mechanism by which we can determine the point at which a development is completed. If "certified by a professional person" or some such wording was inserted, at least we would have an objective basis on which the words "whether or not a development has been completed" could be contested or judged. I put the amendment to the Minister to have inserted the words "as certified by a professional person" in section 5.
