Petroleum (Exploration and Extraction) Safety Bill 2010: Committee Stage
12:00 pm
Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)
The Bill provides for the implementation of certain provisions in a specified time after the coming into operation of this Part. Amendment No. 29 reflects the fact that not all sections in this Part will be simultaneously commenced and proposes to provide for the staggered commencement of provisions as required. Earlier I indicated that I agreed the Bill should require all ministerial directions under section 13J to be published in Iris Oifigiúil. I will bring forward an amendment on Report Stage to give effect to that principle concerning any ministerial direction given for the publication by the commission of the safety framework.
