Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed)
11:00 pm
Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)
There is no reference to a charge for subsequent registration. Why should I agree to an amendment that highlights that fact? I am prepared to do that by regulations, which is fair. Why should I include a section in a Bill to draw attention to a future Minister to do it? The Senator is concerned about future Ministers but I am only a Minister about eight months and I intend staying a Minister for a little longer.
