Merchant Shipping Bill 2009: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
12:00 pm
Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)
I move amendment No. 2 to amendment No. 53:
In subsection (2), in the first line after "ship" to insert "or any ship travelling or berthed in Irish waters".
This is a complicated situation where we effectively have a new Bill inserted into the middle of an existing Bill. In this section, I have been asking the Minister to extend the new rules so that they refer to any ship travelling or berthed in Irish waters. We had a division on this before and the Minister won the division. I made the argument before and I ask him to consider it again.
