Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed)
11:00 pm
Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)
I move amendment No. 16:
In page 5, line 32, after "registration" to insert "at no additional cost to the householder".
This amendment relates to registration. We seek to insert into the Bill a provision that any reregistration would not incur an additional cost to a householder.
The initial registration fee was €50. We opposed that but in terms of re-registration the Minister has indicated he may accept that. The mood is changing as we approach midnight. We propose inserting the words "at no additional cost to the householder" in terms of a re-registration which we hope would take place after a period longer than five years and that it would be specified in the Bill for Report Stage.
