I welcome the Minister's response, particularly that the submissions can be viewed on the Department's website.

Since 2011, the Department has been made aware of these issues. This review was called for by the Minister on 9 September 2016. It is an issue for older and smaller vessels under 40 m, and it is essential they are upgraded as quickly as possible. Will the Minister give a guarantee that, within a year of him calling for this review, namely, by 9 September 2017, he will have come to a decision and we will have clarity around these issues concerning the boats in question?
