Shane Ross (Independent)

I endorse the comments made on salmon drift netting, although the conversion has been belated on the part of many. Nevertheless, I am delighted it has taken place because drift netting is a vital issue. The Independent Group has raised it for many years but our concerns have fallen on deaf ears. I join Senators in congratulating Senator Dardis and hope he will join a picket on salmon drift netting at the Fianna Fáil Party Ard-Fheis next week.
