There has been a lack of scrutiny of the national marine planning framework. In regard to the national marine planning framework, NMPF, Bill, the European maritime spatial planning directive requires all member states to publish and implement marine spatial plans by quarter 1 of 2021. That is what the national marine planning framework is going to do.
Perhaps the reason the Government does not want scrutiny is that it is fearful it will expose some of the weaknesses in a planning framework that is mainly positive, and that it would be forced to act to protect marine biodiversity and inshore fishermen. The fact that it appears we will have very little time to discuss the marine planning framework is another attack on the inshore fishermen of west Cork and the rest of the country.
