PQ 144
183 Deputy Brian O’Shea asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his plans to empower High Court judges sitting on the Admiralty Marshals Court to waive the State’s deduction of 12% levied as court fees in cases where a ship is being sold to recover unpaid crew wages and where it is apparent to the judge that the deduction of the said court fee will reduce the funds available below the level required to enable the full discharge of the aforesaid crews’ wages, which means effectively that it will be the crew themselves who will be paying most, or all, of the said court fees; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
