Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 6:

In page 5, to delete lines 22 to 24 and substitute the following:

"(5) A certificate of registration shall be valid for the lifetime of the property or not less than a period of 40 years from the date on which it was issued.".

It is disappointing that the other amendments have been ruled out of order, as they would have allowed the Minister to use the Bill as an opportunity for householders by providing a stimulus package through the introduction of a grant system in respect of desludging. This would have created jobs, but there appears to be a lack of interest in going down that road.
