In that context I am raising...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Inshore Fisheries (20 Apr 2023)
Catherine Connolly: The blunt reality is that there is no protection and that was the case back in 2018 and 2019, when there had been 900 submissions with people sufficiently engaged to appeal to the Minister to do something.

[17289/23]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Inshore Fisheries (20 Apr 2023)
