Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage.
5:00 pm
Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)
Unless we tackle the illegality and give our sea fisheries officers the wherewithal to operate we will have severe difficulties in future.
Some of the Opposition seem to think this Bill is not necessary. The Browne v. Attorney General and Kennedy v. Attorney General Supreme Court judgments have significantly undermined our legislative framework.
