We are all aware that our colleagues on local authorities in coastal areas or with lakes or rivers...

Maritime Safety Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages. (21 Jun 2005)

Maritime Safety Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages. (21 Jun 2005)

Pat Gallagher: It is not a question of seven days. Section 7 allows at least one month plus seven days. Deputy Broughan suggested one month and 28 days for the public to comment on draft by-laws proposed to be made under this section by any authority.
