Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

General Scheme of the Merchant Shipping (Investigation of Marine Accidents) Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Michael Kingston:

Yes. We cited the UK example in the context of the protocols and all the suggestions I have been making in response to Deputy Ó Murchú. Roisin Lacey, for example, frequently referenced the existing Marine Accident Investigation Branch of the United Kingdom, and that is another reason Captain Clinch's report should be released, given his vast experience in working under that system and knowledge of what we should be doing. We would be able to read his reasoning that led to the recommendations that have given rise to this legislation.
