My constituents, Mr. John O'Brien - Ms Anne Marie O'Brien's brother - and his good friend, Mr. Pat Esmonde, died tragically on 23 May 2010 while on a fishing trip at Helvick Head, County Waterford. The subsequent investigations by the MCIB and Dungarvan gardaí and the coroner's report have not only raised serious issues about the appropriateness of the judgment handed down, they have also given rise to concerns around current marine safety practice in Irish waters. I ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter.
