Bobby Aylward (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)

I will do my best to keep going and I will waffle on for a while. I am very pleased to have this opportunity to consider this Bill, to explore particular aspects of the draft and the likely implications of some of its provisions. Even though I am from County Kilkenny, which is an inland county, I have connections to Wexford and Waterford, Dunmore East in particular. I travelled and travailed there in my youth and often caught a few herrings and mackerel which I brought home in a bag. I have a love for the fish that comes from the sea.
