Fisheries and Coastal Communities: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-06-17
============================================================

Michael Collins (IND), Cork South-West

I am entitled under Standing Orders to seek a debate at any time. It is an entitlement of every Deputy. It is misleading to say I was trying to create a set piece. I am entitled to do that. Fishermen were almost killed off Castletownbere in the last two days and I wanted a debate on that issue. It is an urgent issue. It is wrong of the Minister to make that statement and he should correct the record. I am entitled to do that, as he is.
