Pat Gallagher (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

The purpose of this amendment is to ensure only relevant provisions of the Bill when enacted will be cited with the Merchant Shipping Acts 1894 to 2000, that is, all except the last part of the Bill, to be renumbered Part 5, which relates to other legislative codes. Part 5 contains five sections, two of which were in the original Bill while three are being inserted by way of amendments.
