Christopher O'Sullivan (FF), Cork South-West

I am glad that the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine is present because the fishing sector needs a fuel subsidy. The seafood task force asked for a second month of a tie-up scheme. The Minister provided that; he answered. I now ask that he answers their call for a fuel subsidy. The energy costs are spiralling. Diesel costs are spiralling through the roof. I was presented with an invoice the other day of over €5,000 for diesel costs.
If there is a fuel subsidy, I would like to see it extended to the inshore sector too for those smaller outboard petrol engines.
