Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

I respect the cogent, thoughtful and detailed contribution made by Senator Quinn. Under section 2, I understand the Government will not initiate indictable offences. This section relates to the European Communities Act 1972 which brought Ireland into the EEC. The Bill is a result of a Supreme Court judgment relating to penalties imposed on two fishermen in County Donegal. Will the Minister of State clarify the issue of the maximum fine?
