Cecilia Keaveney (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister for his comprehensive response. Perhaps I can clarify that I agree with him that the best place for the zoning of jet-skis is at local authority level. I believe the forthcoming regulation he alluded to has more of a national reach. I shall be using this as an opportunity to persuade people to submit their thoughts to the Minister. Is he familiar with one of the arguments in my area, for example, on the Foyle as regards who is to police any such by-laws and regulations, since the Foyle is "disputed territory"? The people who use it are from both communities.

The authorities might have difficulty in deciding whether they have the right to pursue somebody on that water, for instance. Maybe this is something that could be addressed, and it is a much bigger issue than jet-skis. If we can make a complete claim as regards the Foyle, that would be grand, and it might clear up one of those issues.
