Question 25: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the position with regard to alleged illegal fishing activity at Killybegs Harbour; and the steps which may be taken by himself, An Garda Síochána or the Director of Public Prosecutions. [23200/06]

When this matter was brought to the attention of Ministers, the matter was formally referred to An Garda Síochána with a request for an investigation. I understand that the Gardaí are conducting an investigation into the matter. That investigation is solely a matter for An Garda Síochána and I have no role in that investigation.
As the timeframe and conduct of the investigation are matters solely for the Gardaí, I consider that it would be inappropriate for me to comment further or make a statement on the matter.
