Peadar Tóibín: How much is that in tonnes?
- Sustainable Fisheries Sector and Coastal Communities: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 Feb 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: I asked, did the Danes offer the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine 3,000 tonnes of mackerel? The Minister has taken up at least 30 seconds of very limited time and he has not answered the question. Did they?

Peadar Tóibín: Did they, Minister? I do not have much time.
- Sustainable Fisheries Sector and Coastal Communities: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 Feb 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: Okay, thanks.
- Sustainable Fisheries Sector and Coastal Communities: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 Feb 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: In September, I understand the Minister was given a communiqué on the 3,000 tonnes, which I understand he ignored.

Peadar Tóibín: I also understand that the Minister said it was legal. The Minister went to the December Council and, having discussed it with the Spanish, came home with 1,500 tonnes, half the number that was offered. Is this the miracle of the loaves and fishes in reverse, where we start out with less fish than we were offered?

Peadar Tóibín: From the Danish offer?

Peadar Tóibín: What does the 25% equate to in tonnage?
- Sustainable Fisheries Sector and Coastal Communities: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 Feb 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: In that case, with the figures I started off with, the long-term effect is true.

Peadar Tóibín: I have a final question. Time has been taken off me by elongated questions.
- Sustainable Fisheries Sector and Coastal Communities: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 Feb 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: Ireland has some of the richest fishing grounds in the whole world, and it is unbelievable to see what has happened to the fishing industry under the policies of the Government. It is estimated that the Irish fleet only takes 15% of the fish out of Irish waters. I am still actually shocked by that figure, even though I have read it so many times, and that 85% of Irish fish in Irish waters...

Peadar Tóibín: In September, the Danes offered the Minister 3,000 tonnes of mackerel quota. Is that the case? This is a major success we have had in terms of a one-off increase in our mackerel quota. I engaged on this with my team when we identified an opportunity. At the time, we were accused by the Danish minister of conducting a midnight heist at the negotiations when we went after this particular...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: This week, Fianna Fáil launched its campaign for a “Yes” vote in the so-called care referendum. It is important that we look behind the glossy marketing leaflets and actually analyse where the Government stands on care. Aontú has been carrying out significant research on the issue of children in State care by way of parliamentary questions, mostly to the Department...

Peadar Tóibín: The State is in loco parentis.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: The Tánaiste raised the issue of ineptitude. I will give him an example of it. Retired Mr. Justice Simms wrote to the Minister, Deputy Roderick O’Gorman, and stated he had “utmost concern” with the predicament of children in State care. He attached four anonymised reports, with permission to share them. He gave them to the Minister, who deleted three of them,...

Peadar Tóibín: Hands off.
- Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (14 Feb 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: It is a pity the Tánaiste is not in the Chamber for this debate. He is the senior Minister responsible and is not here to listen to different voices. I welcome the restoration of the Executive. The past two years have been a disaster for ordinary people in the North of Ireland. They have suffered significantly due to the lack of proper, functional institutions. I will mention the...
