Maritime Safety Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
12:00 pm
Pat Gallagher (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)
This is merely a technical amendment. It allows the relevant by-law making authority the discretion to confine its by-laws to specific classes of craft which require priority attention, whether it be jet skis or certain types of speed boats as it may consider appropriate. The purpose of the Bill is to specifically target bad behaviour and nuisance in order to safeguard life and public enjoyment of recreational activity on water.
