Tommy Broughan: I move amendment No. 2: In page 9, line 17, before "TO" to insert the following: "TO MAKE FURTHER AND BETTER PROVISIONS IN RELATION TO THE RE-REGISTRATION OF MERCANTILE SHIPPING,". Amendment No. 2 is the subject of a short Bill in my name on behalf of the Labour Party which is also before the House. On the basis that we want to take up little of the remaining time left, I withdraw the amendment.

Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage. (22 Feb 2006)

Tommy Broughan: This leaves us in an anomalous situation whereby we will have a control regime in place, the new fishery protection authority, and tough and appropriate penalties and criminal sanctions for our fishermen but that other fleets will seemingly be able to go on unhindered. It is very unlikely that the Minister will be able to bring forward any fundamental measure in this regard in the remainder...

Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage. (22 Feb 2006)

I, like Deputy Eamon Ryan, cannot see why we cannot gather real-time information and check ships in and out of Irish waters, given the existence of modern communications. We must begin searching for such a solution. Whatever has been achieved in recent months, we have an obligation to our coastal communities to ensure that a pan-European regime is implemented...

Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage. (22 Feb 2006)

Tommy Broughan: Deputy Perry has outlined a detailed prescription. The concept is a valuable one. We have been saying from the beginning that all the stakeholders must be involved in the management of stocks. I hope before he leaves office the Minister will do the same for our country. Two valuable reports on fisheries have been prepared by Mr. Padraic White, which all of us on this side of the House use...

[7867/06]

Order of Business. (1 Mar 2006)

Tommy Broughan: Regarding the historic vote of the National Salmon Commission, is it intended to introduce regulations or legislation to implement it? The Taoiseach will remember this time two weeks ago we discussed at length the implications of the Stardust fire. Does the Taoiseach intend to meet the families of the victims in the next week or two? I believe they intend to march on his Saturday clinic.
