The Bill does not really address the particular circumstances of emergency responders. My amendment would strengthen the legislation. Following incidents like the tragedy involving Caitríona Lucas, it would help to ensure lessons are learnt while respecting the essential work of both the emergency responders and the marine accident investigation unit. The amendment would strengthen the Bill and it should be considered.
