Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

Each of these matters deserves debate, with No. 20 deserving our particular attention in light of the Farrell Grant Sparks report. The future of fisheries is clearly perilous. This omnibus approach does not suggest the Government is paying attention or being accountable to the House on these matters. No. 20, which is to be taken as part of a general omnibus, highlights the irrelevance of the House to people outside if this is how they think we deal with our business. We should deal with each of these matters separately.
