Joe McHugh (Fine Gael)

I ask for the Leader's positive and timely intervention regarding allegations of malpractice in the fishing industry in Donegal. There is a very credible fishing industry in Donegal which is the backbone of the fishing industry in this State. As its credibility is at stake, a speedy investigation is necessary. We do not want it dragged out. I ask the Leader to get in touch with the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Noel Dempsey, and Donegal's Minister of State, Deputy Gallagher, and make a timely intervention. This investigation must not be allowed to be dragged out. There are good people involved in the industry and we do not want it damaged.
