At a recent meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, on which many of us here present sit, several members expressed concern and some alarm about a recent "Prime Time" programme on television. Many people approached me about this because such a programme can damage the fish farming industry. There are certain questions to be asked about that programme. While I respect that there are ongoing inquiries, I note a comment, made at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis in Killarney and quoted in the Sunday papers about cowboys in the aquaculture industry. I would like to see the full text of the Minister's words. I do not know to whom he referred or what he meant by that but many people are concerned. Johnny Carroll, whom I already mentioned, was identified in that programme. I respect the fact that in August Galway County Council visited that site near Casla where salmon were buried. We all know the bog can preserve butter for a long time so everyone would know that salmon buried in a bog would not necessarily decompose. If, for example, economic returns for salmon production are low there may be a tendency to take short cuts. The Minister of State said that as far as he is concerned people will conform to aquaculture regulations or pay the penalty. That sends out a very bad message. I respect the Minister's recent statement about An Post, the ESB and companies under his control, to the effect that in future he would lay the onus on their boards of directors to make sure they concern themselves with the profitability of their companies and to ensure that as directors they would furnish whatever tax clearance certificates are required. He spoke about greater responsibility. However, it will give a very bad impression if directors found to be involved in malpractice remain in place. Subsequent to the Minister's inquiries, if he discovers that, as stated in "Prime Time", Mr. Carroll was guilty of a serious offence will he take the decision or does he have codes of ethics that apply to boards of directors on his other semi-State companies? I am referring to the Marine Institute in this case and to BIM in Mr. Gallagher's case.
