- Fisheries Protection. (30 May 2006)
John Perry: Will the Minister of State explain the allegations made by the former Minister to Commissioner Borg in respect of alleged fishing by Irish fishing vessels in Scottish waters? The former Minister alleged he had information on file which he would bring to the attention of Commissioner Borg. Why was this information not put on the record in the Dáil? If the Minister of State is in possession of...
- Fisheries Protection. (30 May 2006)
John Perry: It is not on record in this House. No proof has been offered to support these allegations, which have led to 30,000 tonnes being cut from the quota this year. Claims that Irish vessels are fishing in Scottish waters are merely allegations. The issue was debated in this House so why was this information not put on the record of the Dáil? If this information is in the possession of the...

- Fisheries Protection. (30 May 2006)
John Perry: On a point of clarification, Irish fishing vessel owners are facing a cut of 30,000 tonnes; the cutback of 6,000 tonnes related to 2003. The cutback of 30,000 tonnes relates to the 2005 catch and has come about as a result of unproven allegations. Why was this matter reported to the EU without any proof being offered?

- Tourism Industry. (30 May 2006)
John Perry: Will the Minister of State explain the higher priority tourism issues given that a reduced financial allocation of â¬1 million was agreed at the Estimates meeting last week? He indicated clearly that was in line with the Farrell Grant Sparks report on inland fisheries. In 1999, 54,000 anglers came to Ireland while the number has now reduced to 20,000. The State can allocate only â¬1 million...
- Tourism Industry. (30 May 2006)
John Perry: With respect, the Minister of State said â¬38 million was allocated but I note from the Estimate that â¬28 million was allocated to marine and natural resources for inland fisheries.

- Tourism Industry. (30 May 2006)
John Perry: The Minister of State talks the talk but when it comes to walking the walk he has diverted the money. Will he agree that to develop tourism angling, money is needed? To put â¬1 million into the Estimate for 2006-07 is an insult to the whole industry.
