Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

I apologise for pursuing the matter but I want clarification. One of the provisions made as a result of this ongoing delay was that a Minister of State was given the job to deal with the regional fisheries boards, discuss the matter and come to conclusions. A former Minister of State, Deputy Seán Power, dealt with it and was doing quite a good job in my view. There is now no Minister of State with the responsibility of carrying through the task. Will a Minister of State be given this responsibility or is this being put back to the general responsibilities of the Cabinet Minister, who has much on his plate already?
