Order of Business: Motion. - Oil Pollution of the Sea (Civil Liability and Compensation) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I welcome the legislation. I do not believe in talking in great detail about it but it is extremely important for our economy. Our coastline is exposed and it is important to have the resources and equipment in place as well as the required level of pollution preparedness. If we ever have a situation where there are major leaks – I hope to God we do not – we should be fully prepared for it and follow the example set in Donegal, but by all means the resources should be provided as well.
