John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

Amendment No. 2 ensures the appeals provision of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 1997 will apply in the case of licences issued under the Act at the time of commencement of this legislation. The purpose of amendment No. 1 is to ensure a one-month period is retained in order to respect the right of an aggrieved person to appeal licensing decisions in regard to the Louth area. That position was provided under the 1997 Act and this amendment seeks to ensure it is retained.
