Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)

I pay tribute to the gardaí in Waterford for their handling of a sensitive and difficult murder case which has received much national publicity. They have acted in a caring manner in most difficult circumstances and I compliment Superintendent Dave Sheahan and his team on that. We are often quick to criticise the Garda and should be as quick to praise the force when praise is due.

The report of the three wise men on salmon fishing has not been published yet. It is with the Minister. I do not know if it then goes to committee, the Dáil or this House, but I ask the Leader to set aside time to discuss the report before any final decisions are made. If a certain line is taken and all salmon fishermen are not treated equally, I will not be happy and I want to express that view before any final decision is made.
