I ask the Minister to respond to a practical question. We speak all the time about "owned and operated" but some are referring to "residency". If someone is living in Northern Ireland and operating a licensed boat in Coleraine, for example, I worry about residency if the person decides to move to Donegal or Louth. Are the appropriate words then "owned and operated"? Is there any reference in the amendment the Minister introduced in the Seanad to "residency"? I believe it would be discrimination.
