Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy is correct that there was no such stipulation from the EU, but there was a stipulation regarding the level of fine to be imposed which, because of the implications of Articles 34, 37 and 38, had the effect to which the Deputy refers. All of this is being considered. The Minister and I will engage with the industry and we will try to address these issues to the greatest extent possible.
