Air Navigation and Transport (Indemnities) Bill 2005 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages. (24 Jun 2005)

Róisín Shortall: I move amendment No. 6: In page 10, subsection (6), lines 43 and 44, to delete paragraph (a). I propose these lines be deleted because under section 14(6) notice of termination could take effect before it is received. This is unsatisfactory. We are trying to ensure that notice of termination is received first, before termination occurs.

Air Navigation and Transport (Indemnities) Bill 2005 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages. (24 Jun 2005)

Róisín Shortall: I move amendment No. 8: In page 11, subsection (6), line 40, after "indemnity" to insert "in respect of a particular incident".

Róisín Shortall: I do not intend to delay the House regarding this Bill. I will not use my allotted time on Second Stage. I accept the necessity of the Bill. The Labour Party supported the original Bill in 2001 and sees the current legislation as an extension of that. However, I am concerned we were not given adequate notice of this Bill. The Minister and his officials would have known for some time of the...
