34. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will advocate with his European Union counterparts for the EU to follow the lead of Australia in banning super-trawlers from national waters under the jurisdiction of the Common Fisheries Policy in response to the outrage in Irish coastal communities at the ongoing access to the exclusive economic zone being granted to super-trawlers and factory trawlers to fish there; and his views on whether this practice profoundly undermines the stated objectives of the Government and the European Union to maintain a sustainable fishery for coastal communities and to meet the environmental responsibilities of Ireland.
