Merchant Shipping Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm
Peter Power (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)
As I understand this matter of construction rules, the ships mentioned in other sections of the Bill to which the Senator refers are not passenger ships whereas section 7 provides that, "In making construction rules the Minister may categorise passenger steamers into different classes where appropriate", having regard to various conditions. However, the other vessels to which the Senator refers are not passenger ships. That is my understanding.
