Michael Ring: I will be brief. I welcome the Minister and wish him luck in the negotiations next week. One of the things I do not like is how this fisheries issue is run into Christmas Day or Christmas Eve or St. Stephen's Day. It puts a lot of pressure on people to make a correct decision. It is not fair on officials and families, particularly in Ireland where we like Christmas. However, yesterday we...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (8 Dec 2021)

Michael Ring: I have been in this House nearly 26 years. I have a question for the Ceann Comhairle and the Minister. Have they ever seen a public servant sacked or disciplined?

If these people were working for the private sector they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Fishing Industry: Discussion (8 Dec 2021)

Michael Ring: I welcome the four CEOs. To be fair to the four of them, they are all on the one hymn sheet, which is very important. I know it is four organisations but it is good to see they all have the one agenda. I want to make a few points. Mr. Murphy spoke about fishermen and the dangers and difficulty of the job. I come from north Mayo and there are a lot of fishing people there. It is a very...
