Fisheries (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

I agree with the updating of the penalties and welcome the fact that the Sea Fisheries (Consolidation) Bill is being prepared to gather together and update all legislation relating to fisheries. The licensing of boats has been a bone of contention for many years and the appeals system envisaged in the Bill is important. A transparent and independent statutory appeals process should be seen to be in operation.
