I move amendment No. 1:
In page 2, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following subsection:
"(4) Where a vessel anchors or passes through Castletownbere Fishery Harbour Centre on a voyage in the course of which harbour rates or other charges have been paid or have or will become payable to the Bantry Bay Harbour Commissioners in relation to the vessel or its passengers or cargo, harbour rates or other charges shall not be payable in respect of the anchoring or passage aforesaid.".
The purpose of this amendment is to prevent difficulties arising. This amendment will ensure that Castletownbere Fishery Harbour Centre will be able to deal with the small volume of commercial traffic which enters the harbour without interfering with a ship which is anchored in deep water in a stretch of the sound over which they have control and which has paid charges to Bantry Bay Harbour Commissioners. Apparently this happens from time to time. I commend the amendment to the House.
