Brendan Howlin (Wexford, Labour)

I wish to raise an issue regarding secondary legislation. Last Thursday, the Sea Fisheries (Conservation and Rational Exploitation of Scallops) Regulation SI 245 of 2005, appeared on the Order Paper in the non-statutory section. I asked two questions then and was promised answers. I asked why these regulations appeared in the non-statutory section of the Order Paper and also if there was an awareness in Government that these regulations will devastate the scallop fishing community in Kilmore Quay.
