I move amendment No. 9:

In page 13, line 19, to delete "immediately".

Amendment No. 9 provides that the master of a vessel entering the State is required to berth the vessel, land the goods and disembark the passengers at an approved place within the customs port. Amendment No. 11 makes a corresponding technical change to section 10 which deals, inter alia, with the obligations of the pilot in command of an aircraft in a similar force majeurescenario. Amendment No. 12, also to section 10, concerns the obligations of the pilot in command of an aircraft entering into or departing from the State. In effect, section 9 requires that the operator of the airport notify Customs and Excise of any arrivals or departures in contravention of the conditions of approval of that airport.
