Éamon Ó Cuív: What I am saying is the Minister has said there is no intention to do so and perhaps that is the situation, but she also said we would not have to change the by-law because it already allowed for heritage boats. We seek to insert this amendment to protect against anybody who would change the by-law to make it more restrictive. We are seeking to guard against something a lot of us have seen...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will think about amendment No. 4 and we can come back on it on Report Stage. In terms of what I am proposing in amendment No. 3, and I believe it is reasonable, the Minister has a by-law with which there is no difficulty. We all know that, given that the make-up of Governments change and so on, it is very difficult to get statutory instruments stopped if one that is proposed is...
