I am. There is a lot to be considered, including better local government. Anyone who is a member of a local authority will know very well that the number of people doing certain jobs has been reduced greatly. In some cases there were twice as many doing these jobs some years ago. This must be taken into consideration.

I ask the Leader again to invite the Minister responsible for fisheries to the House to have a debate in the presence of Senator Carty, our spokesperson on fisheries. There is chaos on our rivers and lakes. Not only are stocks being depleted, they are being eliminated. In one case in Westmeath, an individual came upon the people responsible and was threatened. They tried to throw him into the water. That is a very serious matter. Those responsible are not locals; they are non-nationals.
