Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I tried to raise this matter earlier when the House considered the proposal for dealing with No. 14, the instruction to committee. The Government has tabled many Report Stage amendments to the Maritime Safety Bill 2004. The amendments will provide for a completely new Part 6, emergency legislative provisions to provide for the licensing of vessels and a new section 35, which seems to be directed specifically against the scallop fishermen of Wexford and Waterford.
