I support Senator Denis O’Donovan's call for a debate on the fishing industry. I hope such a debate will include the inshore fisheries sector, such as the oyster, mussel and lobster fishing industries, and that we would discuss first-time licences and the time it takes to have one renewed. Many families throughout this island are involved in inshore fisheries. Will the Minister indicate his future plans for both European and Far Eastern export opportunities for these industries?

I hope the appalling scenes witnessed on our national television broadcaster in the Athletic Grounds in Armagh, prior to the commencement of a national football game, will never be replicated-----
