This is not like an NCT. It is a registration of a tank that presumably will be in place for a long time. I am unsure as to whether the requirement that it be re-registered every five years can be found anywhere else in the State's systems. One does not need to re-register property with the Land Registry every five years, although one might need to approach it if there is a mortgage, sale, etc. This will incur a large administrative burden. While I support my colleague's amendment, he could probably do the same job by deleting the line in question. The presumption is that, if something is registered, it is registered and that should be the end of it.
