Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

Based on the arguments made on this side of the House and what we have heard to date, I can see what the Minister is trying to achieve to a point on reregistration which might allow changing circumstances to be taken into account and so on. However, it will introduce major conveyancing and land transfer difficulties. Any solicitor carrying out proper due diligence will obviously look for much more than the registration of the property and all of the other work that has been carried out. We need to extend the period of registration. Other elements could be introduced under another Government amendment to the Bill if the Minister feels they need to be covered. I am not sure if he is open to that idea but it might be constructive in resolving the issue.
