I move that the Committee agree with the Seanad in amendment No. 1:
Section 9: in subsection (3), line 43, "eight" deleted and "ten" substituted.
The amendment deals with the qualifications of the Registrar. The proposal is to increase the number of years for which a person must have served either as a barrister or a solicitor in order to be eligible for appointment as Registrar. The original proposal was that a person would have to have eight years' experience as a barrister or solicitor. The new proposal is to increase that term to ten years.
