8 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if, following the statements provided by the Irish Naval Service which led to severe fines being imposed on Spanish flagships registered in the United Kingdom as a result of severe over-fishing within the Irish fishery limit, this is only a part of the over-fishing by the Spanish in Irish waters; if it warrants the intervention of the European Union Commissioner to insist on a satisfactory explanation from the Spanish fisheries Minister; if, failing a satisfactory response in this regard, he will seek appropriate sanctions against Spanish fishermen; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
