Comment on this
I assume the Deputy has in mind the case involving the Spanish fishing vessel "ITXAS-ONDO", which was referred to the European Court by order of the Circuit Court in December last. The preparation of the State case is in the hands of the Attorney General as the prosecutor in the case and my Department are involved in a consultative capacity only.
