- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Charlie McConalogue: I will take the Deputy’s second point first. He talks a lot of hot air. He has no policy and no proposals. When he mentions young Muireann Kavanagh and the issue of the hook and line pollock fishery, the Deputy does not understand what he is talking about in terms of the wider policy environment. I have engaged with that young fisher lady - it is great to see her passion for it -...

Pearse Doherty: Young Muireann Kavanagh has shown the Minister up for what he is. He is the person with hot air. He should tell the truth to the Dáil now. The only time he reached out to Muireann Kavanagh was after she went out on the media - that very morning. That is the reality. She wrote to him twice. A young 14 year old fisher woman from the island of Arranmore watches from her bedroom as the...

Seán Canney: Thank you, Deputy.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: The SFPA had no problem going to Magheraroarty in the early hours of the morning on a Sunday on three occasions to board that vessel. When that vessel wants to bring product and land it in Magheraroarty, the Minister for fisheries tells us that the SFPA does not have the resources to make the journey to Magheraroarty. That is hot air.

Seán Canney: Thank you Deputy. Minister -----

Pearse Doherty: I appeal to the Minister, on behalf of fishermen in my community, to take out his pen and sign the document to reclassify Magheraroarty as a designated pier that will support that community and vessel and could also support other jobs in that community as well.

Charlie McConalogue: I always tell the truth. Deputy Doherty is not telling the truth about the response I gave young Muireann Kavanagh. I wrote her a handwritten letter -----

Pearse Doherty: After she went on radio.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Charlie McConalogue: No, before that. Again, the Deputy is not telling the truth here. He might like to portray it otherwise, but he is not telling the truth. I wrote her a handwritten note explaining the situation. Unfortunately, on that issue, as on many other issues on fisheries, Deputy Doherty and his party are an empty vessel.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: The Minister has created many an empty vessel.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Charlie McConalogue: Deputy Doherty has come forward with nothing of substance. All he tries to do is exploit the situation and make it sound like he has something to offer when he has nothing to offer. I have seen no proposal from the Deputy on the hook and line fishery for pollock. He has done nothing other than try to exploit the situation. That is the reality we see from him on many issues. I explained...

Pearse Doherty: I think it is important that the Minister does not mislead the Dáil. Muireann Kavanagh wrote to the Minister in December.

Charlie McConalogue: The Deputy is an empty vessel. He is a bluffer.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: Do not try to spin a lie. She is a 14-year-old girl. She wrote to the Minister a second time. When the parents were going on radio, the Minister sent a handwritten note to her at that point in time. Do not try to mislead the Dáil. This is a young person who is standing up not only for her own rights but for fishing rights across the community. She is currently in Strasbourg because...

Pearse Doherty: 62. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the Government has considered the reclassification of Magheraroarty pier in County Donegal as a pier for landing; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18300/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: I know we have done this through parliamentary questions, and so has my colleague Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn, but I want to ask the Minister about the designation and reclassification of Magheraroarty pier in County Donegal as a landing port for UK-registered vessels, similar to other piers and harbours in the county. This is something that would be transformative for the area and...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Charlie McConalogue: As the Deputy knows, last year I designated three new ports in County Donegal - Bunagee, Glengad and Malin Head - as well as Dunmore East in County Waterford for landings from UK-registered Northern Ireland vessels. I also extended the opening hours in Greencastle. That brings the total number of ports designated for UK-registered Northern Ireland vessels to 11, seven of which are located...
