Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 95:

In page 37, line 40, after "protection" to insert ", management and operation".

Section 33(6(b)(iii) states "the protection of vehicle decks on the ship". To make the provision more complete the section should also address the management and operation of vehicle decks on the ship. In other words all aspects of the management and operation of a ferry would be within these requirements. Although thankfully not in recent times, there have been a number of ferry disasters in Europe in the past. The Minister's powers should extend to all aspects of the ongoing management of a vehicle deck.
