Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (12 Feb 2014)

Noel Harrington: The press release that the GSOC issued this week went to great lengths to exonerate An Garda Síochána, but mentioning it in the press release almost had the opposite effect. Did Mr. O'Brien consult with An Garda Síochána before he issued that press release? That is referred to in the protocols that the GSOC agreed last September.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Effects of Recent Storms on Fishing Community (13 Feb 2014)

Noel Harrington: I welcome the capital scheme. The provision of €8.8 million for nine counties is significant. I do not share the concerns that have been expressed regarding the ability of local authorities to come up with 10%, or €800,000, of that sum nationally. If it is spread equally across the nine counties, the requirement will be somewhere in the region of €80,000 to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Effects of Recent Storms on Fishing Community (13 Feb 2014)

Noel Harrington: I welcome any scheme that gives assistance. I have been speaking to some of the people who have lost gear, including last night when the scheme was announced. They were pleased that there is some scheme, but they said that it could have been better and they could have got more money, and that they could have had greater recognition for the loss of more pots or been given more per pot. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Effects of Recent Storms on Fishing Community (13 Feb 2014)

This weather was forecasted and some people took pots out of the water in advance of the bad weather because they knew it was going to be serious. As Dr. Beamish said, some of them took them in and stored...

I am pleased to report that in the past day or...

Topical Issue Debate: Marine Resources (18 Feb 2014)

Noel Harrington: I welcome the Minister's proposal for allocating extra quota over the next six weeks. Fishermen do not want to go cap-in-hand to anybody. It is a proud industry, albeit a difficult one, and they do not want to look for funding. However, most of them are now living on credit and the goodwill of businesses in their areas. We need to have a debate on the fish assist scheme because it is far...
