Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to immediately cancel the cutbacks, amounting to €750,000, notified to regional fisheries boards last Monday week —€62,000 in the case of the Southern Regional Fisheries Board — and to instead properly fund the various fisheries boards which are already running on shoestring budgets and to ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter.
