Merchant Shipping (Investigation of Marine Casualties) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (23 Feb 2022)

Mattie McGrath: I have great respect for the Minister and know he is a decent man but this is a whitewash of the highest order.

We have had many more, including one in Dungarvan when we lost two young men, young O'Brien and...

Nobody in the Marine Casualty Investigation Board could go out to sea because they had no seagoing experience. It would only happen in Ireland and not in any other...
