Manus Boyle (Fine Gael)

I wish to raise a few wee things. As has been stated, we were in Castletown when the Commissioner was there. He is really getting involved in the new species that are coming into Irish waters because of global warming. Is there any way we could conduct a review to see what is coming into Irish waters to try to be ahead to the posse?

Bluefin tuna were mentioned. It would be a good help to our small fishermen if they could get two or three tags for the year. It would be a massive help to a small man with a boat out trying to fish crabs and lobsters.

The Minister of State is here. Could he outline the plans for the small fisherman? At the end of the day, he is just living on crumbs off the table. He is a person who must be included in a plan, moving forward, because if we are to keep coastal communities alive, we need the small man to be involved too.
