- European Union (Common Fisheries Policy) (Point System) Regulations 2018: Motion [Private Members] (23 May 2018)
Mick Wallace: ...Europe or if they are getting a free ride. Whatever about the inadequacy of the statutory instrument, most of the infringements are for pretty straightforward offences. The most recent report from the SFPA cited 23 incidents arising from inspections that led to 42 infringements being investigated. These were mostly to do with inadequate log book record keeping. Giving the inspection...
- European Union (Common Fisheries Policy) (Point System) Regulations 2018: Motion [Private Members] (23 May 2018)
Thomas Pringle: ...is simply amazing, really, that the Department would allow this to happen. Surely the Department knows how vessels are sold and tonnage is split up, or indeed the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority, SFPA. Yesterday the Department said that it had nothing to do with enforcement or criminal applications within the procedure. The SFPA obviously has sole responsibility, so it should know...
- European Union (Common Fisheries Policy) (Point System) Regulations 2018: Motion [Private Members] (23 May 2018)
Willie Penrose: ...in the past hour. I think balance of probabilities will be hard. There will be a determination body with three members. The Minister assures us that they will be selected independently, but the SFPA will be involved in the selection and can get rid of them if it is unhappy with them. If we are going to have a system, it will have to be robustly independent. It has to not just appear...

Martin Kenny: .... The balance of probability is a very loose way of looking at this and it needs to be re-examined. There is also the question of the independence of the determination panel because it is so closely linked to the SFPA which is a problem for some. Ultimately, the decision as to whether there is a serious breach is going to be in the report that comes from the SFPA and that report comes to...
- European Union (Common Fisheries Policy) (Point System) Regulations 2018: Motion [Private Members] (23 May 2018)
Charlie McConalogue: ...in the statutory instrument deals with the balance of probability rather than having to prove beyond doubt, which is normally the case where a criminal sanction is being pursued. The role of the SFPA permeates the statutory instrument at all stages, which was the basis on which the Supreme Court struck down the previous statutory instruments. The multiplication of points and tonnage...
- European Union (Common Fisheries Policy) (Point System) Regulations 2018: Motion [Private Members] (23 May 2018)
Helen McEntee: ...has occurred. The determination panel now comprises three independent legal professionals nominated by the Attorney General. The licence holder may request an oral hearing of the case. The SFPA provides a purely supportive administrative role, appointing the Attorney General's nominated professionals and providing all reasonable facilities and services to the panel. These practical...

Pat Gallagher: ...process, as outlined in the statutory instrument, is inadequate in respect of the rights of the individuals. Another substantial point concerns the role of the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority, SFPA, as outlined in the statutory instrument. It overlaps on different occasions between a detection function, which is the authority's statutory role, and one where it adjudicates, which is...
