John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am well aware of the rules and regulations in the Department and I am not asking the Minister to break them. I was approached by fishermen in the community of Kilmore Quay to see if we could arrange for a swap or trade with the French who have under-fished certain species.

This would allow the Kilmore Quay fishermen fish until the end of the year. Is that possible and has the Minister had any discussions in that regard? Will the Minister consider the issue?
