Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

Over two weeks ago, I raised the very positive proposal by Government, which is a policy directive to ban vessels over 18 m from fishing within the 6 mile limit. The Taoiseach promised to get back to me and I realise he is very busy, however, two weeks have lapsed and the policy directive is to become effective from 1 October. I can see no sign of the policy directive. I very much welcome it but given the last time this was discussed was 2018, and because of various court cases, it was not implemented, we have a new policy following an extensive consultation. Where can I find the directive? Is it to become operative from 1 October this week?
