Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I again rise to discuss a number of matters relating to Inland Fisheries Ireland. I am reminded of the famous question asked of Thomas Becket by an English king, who asked, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" What is one to do if one needs to get rid of the chair of a State board? What would be a good way of doing that? One way would be to target his or her family. That would be a good way of doing it because people are loyal to their family, and if a member or members of person's family have been targeted, such as a brother or nephew, that is a good way of leading that person to decide to pack in their course of action.
That is exactly what is happening in the case of Inland Fisheries Ireland. I previously outlined some of the issues we have had, but that is what has happened. An entire family are being victimised by people within Inland Fisheries Ireland-----
