Aquaculture Licences. (6 Nov 2007)

Tom Sheahan: I thank the Minister of State for his answer, or rather the lack of one. I asked a specific question, namely, the number of licences issued since January 2007. The answer I got was 12 and three, or 15. I asked about the number of applications for new licences, renewals or reviews being processed and he said 254, when the figure is 260. When will the backlog be cleared? The Minister of...

In many cases both spouses are...

Tom Sheahan: Is the Taoiseach aware that a legal challenge has been lodged in the High Court this week regarding the legislation that went through this House banning drift net fishing and is he surprised by that?

Coast Guard Services. (21 Nov 2007)

Tom Sheahan: I congratulate the Ceann Comhairle on demonstrating his true belief in respect of decentralisation when, in his former ministerial capacity, he relocated the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism to south Kerry.
