Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

Review of Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act 2006: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Cormac Burke:

We are talking about court cases. We often see people brought to court and cases being thrown out. Who pays the legal fees is never mentioned. If the fisherman does not, why is that information not appearing somewhere on the SFPA's books or on those of the Department of the marine? Year on year, we never see that money mentioned. The taxpayer paid, of course. I thought I would mention that.
