Question 63: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources further to a previous parliamentary question of 25 January 2006, if there is evidence to show that Spanish fishing efforts in the Irish Box are not increasing; if this practice is still in place; the amount of time Spanish vessels spent in the Irish Box in 2005, 2004 and 2003; if these figures are definite or approximate; the way in which the Government is ensuring that the maximum efforts allowed are not being exceeded; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
