Committee on Public Petitions
Fermoy Weir: Discussion
Mr. Paul Kavanagh:
I have used the following analogy in the past. If the Deputy's car breaks down tomorrow morning and he cannot get to Dáil Éireann, will he buy a new one? That might be his ultimate goal, eventually, but he could keep going if he gets the old one repaired for now. Inland Fisheries Ireland wants a new car. It wants a new fish pass and nothing else will do. I am sorry but they will have to hold back for a small bit.
