John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

I thank Senators for their contributions to the debate on this Bill. On Committee Stage we had a lively and interesting debate on many aspects of the fishing industry. I thank Opposition spokespersons for their support in ensuring the expeditious passage of the Bill through this House. I thank Senator Kenneally, in particular, for his contribution to the debate. It was part of An Agreed Programme for Government that an appeals system would be introduced without delay. We will have it up and running early in the new year.
