Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

We will have various sectors represented here today in the next session on islands, inshore and offshore. I would like to get the Minister of State's latest perspective on the issue the six-mile limit. I acknowledge it is being reviewed and that a number of court cases have held back the intent of the previous Government.

Ireland has the natural resource of fishing and shellfish around its coast, which we have never fully developed. Does the Minister of State believe the resource is protected as a resource for the Irish people under the Irish Constitution?
