Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

This means we are getting one quarter of our entitlement from the Common Fisheries Policy. In my six minutes' contribution I have a simple suggestion to make to the Minister. It is of its time because no matter how long a problem goes on, if one persists long enough the day will come when one gets an opportunity. My suggestion to the Government is that the next time President Sarkozy mentions anything about corporation tax, the Government should make it clear that before it will discuss that, there is an issue that it wishes to open up, that is, we want our fishing waters back.
