Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

In this particular instance - I have no doubt that there would have been hundreds of particular things that would have to have been followed as part of the process - all that one needs to find to strike a policy down is one small item. That is what happened in this instance. Very significant commitment, time and effort was put into the consultation process and I am now assessing this.
To be clear, the Government's commitment, and mine, is to protect fishing inside the six-nautical-mile limit. I am now assessing how we get to that position and achieve that.
