Merchant Shipping Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages
3:00 pm
Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)
As the Deputy stated, it is a fairly standard amendment tabled by the Labour Party to most Bills that come before the House and the response he will get is fairly standard as well. No doubt if the roles were reversed I would be getting the same answer from him.
It is not considered necessary to go through this particular procedure for secondary legislation. The section provides the standard element in the process, that either House may within 21 days pass a resolution annulling the secondary legislation instrument if it does not approve of the order, regulation or rule that is being made under the Act. I ask the Deputy to withdraw the amendment.
