Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

I remain unhappy, while acknowledging that the Minister is attempting to do something with boats that are larger than this particular one. Of all the boats in this category, since the recommendation was made the Minister has done absolutely nothing. The Department has failed in its duty of care and it is a disgrace and a shame that it has not happened. I shall continue to press the Minister as regards progress on this very important and significant matter.
