Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Second Stage.
Section 33 of the Criminal Justice Act 1994 is being amended to take account of this requirement, so that it will apply to such drug trafficking offences, and not, as at present, only the offences of possession of controlled drugs or carrying drugs for import or export. This provision is contained in section 28(b). This amendment will widen the range of drug trafficking offences at sea to include not only those to which I have already referred, but all drug trafficking offences, as comprehended in the 1994 Act, when committed on board an Irish ship, a convention state ship or a ship not registered in any country or territory.
