Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-02
============================================================

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (SF), Donegal

Tell me who I named. The Minister said that I personalise the issue. Who did I name? Did I name any official in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine or the SFPA? I did now what the Minister did back then. I believe that the Minister knows in his heart, as Deputy Danny Healy-Rae said, that this is wrong. It is my job as a spokesperson on fisheries and the marine to read The Fishing Daily , the Marine Times and The Skipper . Those are the voices of fishermen. Is the Minister seriously telling me that he has not heard criticism of the Department or the SFPA in those newspapers and magazines that come out once a month? Did the Minister hear the speeches that were delivered outside the Dáil and the fishers' voices?
