There have been many tragedies off the Irish coast. The recent tragic deaths of three family members off the Waterford coast have highlighted the urgent need for the mandatory use of personal location beacons. I am told legislation is required to do that. Has the issue been discussed and has the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine indicated that he is planning to examine the matter and to bring forward legislation? We do not want to be back in this House again discussing another tragedy in the future.
