Merchant Shipping Bill 2009: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
The point I am making about the flag ship is that it would be impossible for Ireland to have to clear every vessel which comes into our waters. It is a flag state responsibility, except when they dock in Ireland. We the have the power to board and detain, which is sufficient for the concerns which the Deputy has. Amendment agreed to.
