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

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 13:
In page 12, line 30, after “State” to insert “or other operator”.
This is on submarine pipelines. It states that we should have jurisdiction if another state is laying a pipeline but that we should also have jurisdiction if another body that is not a state is laying a pipeline. That is extremely appropriate in the context. The Minister of State might clarify if we have that jurisdiction if we have private actors that would seek to lay pipelines in the State's jurisdiction.
