Covid-19: Reframing the Challenge, Continuing our Recovery and Reconnecting: Statements (21 Oct 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I will start on a positive note and thank the Minister for coming back to me about compliance. He said he would do it and he did. The level of compliance is worrying. I have six minutes so I will make a few points but I wanted to start by thanking the Minister. From the beginning I asked for a human rights approach on this topic. I thank Deputy Tóibín for asking for this to go...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fishing Industry (21 Oct 2021)

Catherine Connolly: The answer to my simple question is also simple. It is that the boats are free to go in and fish unsustainably, taking out as much sprat as they possibly can and as quickly as they can. That is our current position despite a policy decision way back indicating that this was unsustainable. It is despite the rising numbers of sprat being caught in an unsustainable manner in 2021. Why was...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fishing Industry (21 Oct 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I am returning to a matter that was raised under a priority question earlier. I am asking about the position with boats of over 18 m.

A Topical Issue was ruled out of order, which I understand as the question was sub judice. There are serious implications here and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fishing Industry (21 Oct 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I hope I can benefit from the time the Minister has given up. I appreciate the Minister's bona fides and that he is supportive of this. This policy was announced in 2018 and it was to come into effect in 2019 or 2020 with a three-year stay for the bigger trawlers to allow them adjust. The Minister knows more about this than I do. My difficulty is that while the judgment might have been...
