In the mid-1960s an agreement between the then Taoiseach, Seán Lemass, and Terence O'Neill allowed fishermen from the Six Counties to fish in the territorial waters of the Twenty-six counties and vice versa. This was challenged and brought before the Supreme Court prior to Christmas. As a consequence the judgment stated that no legislation was brought forward to legalise it. I understand this legislation is being prepared. When can we have it before the House?
