Inland fisheries Bill and fishing tonnage

Summary

Michael Healy-Rae challenges the allocation of fishing tonnage between tiers and asks about the inland fisheries Bill. No publication date is available, prompting a brief fishing-related exchange.

Michael Healy-Rae Independent

Tonnage for fishermen is unfairly divided, in that fishermen in tier two should have 50% of the tonnage of those in tier one-----

I am asking this in the context of the inland fisheries (modernisation and consolidation) Bill.
