Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 85:

In page 25, to delete lines 42 and 43 and in page 26, to delete lines 1 to 3.

The purpose of the amendment is to remove subsection (12) which provides that the Minister "may exempt from all or any of the provisions of reduced mobility regulations, on such terms and conditions as he or she sees fit, any passenger vessel or any class or classes of passenger vessel, having regard to the nature of the vessel and the use to which it is put." This a wide-ranging power which appears to remove the safeguards being inserted for citizens with reduced mobility.
