Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

I ask Senator Landy to follow my scenario. The inspector demands a certificate and if the person cannot find the certificate or has it somewhere else, on a technical point that inspector can haul the landowner, property owner or householder into court and state the date of the visit on which the owner did not provide the certificate demanded. This is a very draconian power for a technical issue and time should be given. If a garda stops me in my car, I have ten days in which to produce my insurance and most gardaí will accept it within 20 days.
