I asked the Minister earlier if Dundalk Bay can sustain more boats. He indicated that is to do with management and has nothing to do with this legislation. However, would the Minister not put management in place before the Bill? There is no point in it if the six-mile zone is not capable of facilitating the boats. Was nothing done to check this out? Is the Minister stating that no management is in place to look after who is coming in and so forth? That makes no sense. It is like putting the horse before the cart.
