Marine Protection: Motion
10:30 am
Paudie Coffey (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
It is very serious to unilaterally make decisions that impact on agreements and negotiations we have made with our European partners in terms of the Common Fisheries Policy. We do know that we need sustainable environmental protections for our marine biodiversity as well as on land. The Minister of State has outlined in a very strong way that he proposes to bring legislation forward in the coming weeks and months. There will be ample opportunity to engage with that legislation. For that reason, we are standing over our amendment.
