I move amendment No. 4:

In page 4, subsection (1)(a), line 24, to delete "in compliance with" and substitute "if required to do so by".

The reason we demand this is that total disembarkation should not be mandatory. The implication in the subsection is that it will be mandatory, which is over the top. It will be cumbersome and difficult to enforce. The Minister has spoken about how Irish citizens would feel listening to this debate. How will they feel if these sections are implemented? It is a bit much to treat them in this way.
