Mr. Denis Maher:

There have been significant High Court challenges in recent years in regard to fishing rights owned by the State, in respect of which legal costs were mounted . The expectation in the Department and from the Minister is that IFI would vindicate those rights on behalf of citizens. I do not think there is any demurring from the fact it is extremely important in situations where people are trying to usurp the rights vested in various parts of the State. That is part of the legal issue. As the Deputy knows, dealing with cases at the High Court can be quite expensive. Thankfully, we have secured and won the cases so far. We will continue to vindicate those rights. That is done through IFI. It is important.
