Declan Breathnach (Louth, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

On a point of order, I want to make it clear that I was talking about giving equality of participation. Since voisinage has been in place, the whole arrangement in regard to the type of boats and how people are operating on both sides, North and South, has changed dramatically. I made very clear all of the disadvantages the current boats have, and I even said this to the Minister at the meeting a number of weeks ago. Although I did not allude to it today, I am talking about the grants that are available. That is why I have to say there is a favouritism towards the UK, and I stand over that.
