John Perry (Sligo-Leitrim, Fine Gael)

Did the Minister have a signed deal on the reflagging of the MV Normandy in regard to the future plans of the company? Was giving that concession not the green light for other operators to take that derogation? What type of deal was in place?

Why did the Minister not act on State aids in respect of the Irish Maritime Development Office? Why was no action taken when the Farrell Grant Sparks report stated it was a mistake to reflag the MV Normandy?
