Decommissioning scheme dispute
Deputy Michael Collins challenged the report’s decommissioning scheme, saying a producers’ organisation had rejected part of it and urging the Minister to seek better quota terms in Europe. The Minister and Chair insisted the report was unanimous and that Collins’s intervention was not a point of order.
I wish to raise a point of order. I wish to clarify that one of the organisations, the Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation, has rejected part of the report on the decommissioning scheme. The Minster has failed to recognise that. I will reject the same part of the report for the same reasons.

I ask the Minister to go back to Europe and fight for a quota-----

That is what we need. I want to make that point. It was not made clear that the organisation had rejected that part of the report.
