Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

That kind of sums up the shallowness of the Deputy's presentation. What he is saying is absolute rubbish. We are not ceding anything, particularly in respect of fishing rights. We are ceding nothing. It is just another game, is it not? It is just another slogan and just another approach, and it is consistent with the Deputy's approach on everything. I engaged with the fishermen of Ireland and their representatives. I am serious about it and I am going to do everything I possibly can to help fishers in this country. I am not going to be engaging in the silly, shallow sort of presentations that the Deputy engages in, pretending to be the friend of everybody but with absolutely zilch when it comes to substance on very serious matters that affect livelihoods. For God's sake, I think we need better than that.
