Land Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages.
5:00 pm
Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)
There has been a good relationship, in general. I am familiar with cases which have been sent to outside collectors in the past. The collectors received a certain percentage of the moneys before they were sent to the Land Commission. There is a danger that people who are in real hardship could be the victims of this change. If the needs of such people were considered, not only in the written reports of the House but also in actual legislation, it is possible that we could live with it. This section, as it stands, is intolerable and unacceptable. Fine Gael cannot support it.
