Higgins asked the Minister for Defence if, in future, when civilian ships have to be chartered to transport units of the Defence Forces or their equipment to and from overseas missions and a vessel that is not in conformity with Article 91 of UNCLOS has to be used, he will take firm and decisive steps to ensure, before any contractual commitments are entered into by the State, that the terms and conditions of employment for the crew are set by a collective bargaining agreement of a type approved by the International Transport Workers Federation, such approval by the ITF being the normal quality assurance procedure and practice worldwide for maritime collective bargaining agreements.
