Boat instalments during herring restrictions

Summary

L'Estrange asks how boat owners can meet instalments while unable to fish for herring. The Ceann Comhairle calls it a separate question, and Lenihan and L'Estrange exchange sharp remarks.

Is the Minister aware that many of those people have difficulty in paying instalments at present on some of those boats because they cannot fish for herring and may not be able to fish for them for the next three or four months? What are they to do in the meantime?

That is a separate question.

The Minister has not learned much about it so far.
