- Fish Quota. (14 Feb 2007)
John Perry: I thank the Minister for his reply. Regarding the deferment of the opening, an allegation was made against owners of vessels of the pelagic fleet but clearly this was unproven. The latter had a considerable impact on a number of people. I am delighted that it did not prevail in Scotland. In respect of the six-year arrangement, will the opening date regarding fishing by vessels of the...

- European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)
John Perry: There has been significant debate on this issue all morning and there is much objection to the introduction of the Bill. There was also much debate over a sea fisheries Bill, with the Supreme Court finding it in breach of a directive. That debate focused attention on other Departments and was at the time very controversial because the Minister stated there was difficulty in imposing EU laws...
- European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)

There is no debate on the impact of this and for every action there will be a reaction. Deputy Durkan spoke on the...

- European Communities Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Feb 2007)
John Perry: We were speaking of the six-year statute bar. How would this impact on the constitutionality of a case that went back 12 years? This will give a wrong signal, even if this involved attaching all the orders to it. This involves thousands of statutory instruments and directives. Ireland has benefited considerably from Europe and in every sense the Irish experience has been a success story,...
