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:

We want to help the Department. Let us not forget the foundation block for prosperity in everything we are doing at the moment, which is why there is renewable legislation coming through and so on. We cannot just have a great renewable drive without safety.

To achieve safety, you need to analyse each and every incident to ensure it never happens again and make very stringent recommendations. Those recommendations need to be acted upon. That is the foundation block for the prosperity of the Irish maritime sector.
