Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

The board members attempted to have discharge removed in recent days but were prevented by the management of the Shannon Regional Fisheries Board. I am grateful for the Minister of State's appearance before the House but the reply does not refer to the fact that some 12 km or 13 km from the River Suck there is free fishing. It is not a fair system. I am totally opposed to it and I hope the new board, once established, will have a new system applicable throughout the country and there will be no such differentiation.
