Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-01
============================================================

Lisa Chambers (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I thank the Senator for proposing this amendment. It shows a very diligent approach to the legislation. I attended Second Stage yesterday when the Minister of State indicated the Government is willing to look at this to try to incorporate it on the next Stage. I thank Senator Higgins for the very fair manner with which she is approaching this. To be fair to Senators, if an amendment is worthwhile we should try, at best, to facilitate it coming through the Seanad. It is very fair on Senator Higgins's part that she is willing to go a different route and bring the amendment through another colleague in the Dáil. That needs to be acknowledged on this side of the House.
