Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
EU Transport Matters: Discussion with Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport
10:15 am
Mr. Brian Hogan:
No, some of them may have been flagged within the European Union. However, they were inspected in other EU member states. Some of them may have been from the EU but a number of them were non-EU as well. The standards can vary throughout the member states and we can inspect a ship from another EU member state when it comes into an Irish port and similarly, they can do it in our ports.
