Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

Is it intended that the new Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Browne, will be covered by the regulation passed by the House on the marine? Is he effectively the Minister for the Marine and has the Minister with responsibility for the marine departed? I tried to pay a tribute to the Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Gallagher, at the fisheries committee but I was prevented from doing so by the Ceann Comhairle's colleague, the chairperson.
