Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

I know a young skipper who wants to travel to America to attend his sister's wedding. She is one of the undocumented Irish and cannot come home to marry but he cannot travel because he has a record arising from a fishery offence.

The fishing industry is experiencing very difficult times. Arising from the clear opinion given by a leading constitutional expert, I suggest to the Leader that this House should move on the issue and amend the legislation which is overdue as this is a source of great anxiety for fishermen from Donegal to Kerry to Cork.
