Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fishing Industry (9 Mar 2023)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Rockall is a traditional fishing ground for Irish fishermen, in particular Donegal fishermen. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has assessed the loss to be in the millions of euro. In the case of the likes of Greencastle, as much as 25% to 30% of the income could be lost. It is outrageous and has no basis in international law. Two years later, what is the Government is...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fishing Industry (9 Mar 2023)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: This is outrageous. There is no basis in international law for putting a nautical mile limit around an uninhabited rock. There is no basis for this under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, UNCLOS. It is absolute nonsense. How on earth is the Government tolerating this? How is it not being taken to international arbitration? Why did the Government sign off on the...

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: The Chief Medical Officer, in recent days, has talked about older people getting back to normal after the pandemic to regain their lives and part of that is this issue of being able to pay with cash.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rail Network (2 Mar 2023)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: One of the things I am most concerned about is TEN-T funding at European level. As the Minister knows, the Government has not submitted a proposal for reconnecting the west of Ireland through rail. I know the Minister has made some positive soundings and they have been welcomed in the west, but we can only describe this as sheer neglect. When we take out the map of rail infrastructure in...
