The Air Navigation and Transport Act 2022 was signed into law on 7 December 2022. My department is engaging with the Office of Parliamentary Counsel with regard to its commencement.
Full commencement of the Merchant Shipping (Registration of Ships) Act 2014 (No. 43 of 2014) requires the establishment of a new electronic Irish Register of Ships and ship registration regime, which will be progressed under a separate IT project, and new ship registration regulations to complement the IT project.
