Alleged order to turn back off Galway

Summary

Begley asked whether the Minister directed a naval vessel not to catch poachers off Galway, and said he believed the boat had turned back. The Minister called the supplementary question facetious, while the Ceann Comhairle said it was a separate question.

Can the Minister tell us if he issued a directive to an Irish naval vessel not to catch the poachers off Galway?

That is a separate question.

That is a very facetious supplementary question.
