Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. My question is on when the Minister will sign the statutory instrument that will bring into force a penalty points system for fishing offences given the background that pertains here, namely, our obligations under EU regulations, the fact that the statutory instrument introduced in 2014 was found to be not fit for purpose, the implications of pilot proceedings against the State by the European Commission, that funding under the European Maritime Fisheries Fund has been suspended and so on? Will the Minister please clarify the position?
