Michael Colreavy (Sligo-North Leitrim, Sinn Fein)

Last night, the Minister indicated the fisheries and fish processing business has a potential value of €1 billion. While I agreed wholeheartedly with the vision for agri-food and fisheries he set out, I cautioned that the policies, practices and choices that are made are often contrary to his vision and do not bring us closer to achieving its objectives. What we have here is an example of that phenomenon.
