Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I request the introduction of an amnesty, not for the charge but for the surcharges imposed on those who do not register, which are extremely high. I know a person who genuinely did not realise there was a liability because the person's second home was leased. I ask the Minister to review the position, especially the €200 per month surcharge for which people are liable if they do not pay the charge. This is causing hardship for a number of people.
