Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

The Minister has repeated what he said on Committee Stage. Originally this started as one Bill and has been merged with various others, making it very difficult to follow the amendments and the amendments to the amendments.

Amendments Nos. 83 and 94 refer to codes of practice and fire safety rules. It would be an enhancement of the Minister's powers if he accepted these amendments to invigilate against ships under flags which repeatedly give trouble with the bad treatment of workers, fire safety standards and so forth.
