Maritime Safety Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
3:00 pm
Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)
Is this now legal? Can it be enforced now? Previously, doubt existed because it was under the aegis of a cross-Border body and this House did not have the legal right to intervene and interfere. Can the Minister of State spell out who has the authority? How has the Minister of State managed to circumvent or include it? Which agency now has the powers for fining or intervening if there is misuse of the waterways?
