Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

-----so it simply was not possible to do anything until we got the final judgment. Is it now four years since the whole process started? We have to make sure any step we take now meets any legal challenges and is fully robust. The team has fully assessed the previous judgment. We are now working on assessing this judgment. We have had it only a month. We will step it out. My commitment and this Government's commitment, our programme for Government commitment, is resolute. It is one of the things to which we all committed when we went to this side of the House. We are very committed to the inshore sector. We are very committed to protecting the area inside the six-nautical-mile zone for the inshore sector. The Deputy's presentation of the matter is not fair at all because everything that can be done will be done as quickly as possible by me and the team now to step this out.
