John Perry (Sligo-Leitrim, Fine Gael)

Does the Minister realise the difficulties being encountered by many fish processing companies in the area because of these night-time restrictions? Many have had to reduce staff numbers from 1,500 people to 150. This is the major port on the west coast with its large capacity underused. Will the Minister intervene in this case? I accept the need for due process in the Garda investigation but it is a separate issue. Killybegs port is practically shut.
