Now that the point has been raised an amendment can be tabled on Report Stage in that regard. As the Deputy said, he raised the issue of liens and including it in this Bill on Second Stage. Much of this relates to the International Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages 1993, which we have not ratified. Few countries have ratified it due to its complexity. It is such a big area that it would be difficult to contain it within the parameters of this Bill. That said, if there is a facet of that convention or a perspective of the Deputy's that he believes could be addressed, he could share it with me as a draft amendment and I will engage with him then.
