Tom Sheahan (Kerry South, Fine Gael)

Given the Taoiseach's own words that his wish is to see business done in a proper manner, yesterday I raised the matter of a by-law that the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources told the South-Western Regional Fisheries Board by e-mail he would introduce in 24 to 48 hours. My information is that he introduced that by-law last night, whereby the fishermen in Cromane had a licence and got the go-ahead from the Minister to go and to fish yesterday, and got instructions last night and this morning not to go out. Is that how the Taoiseach's wish that business be done in a proper fashion is being carried out?

The Taoiseach spoke last week about community life, rural life and the family.
