The Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Noel Dempsey, and Junior Minister John Browne have met a group of 20 Fianna Fáil TD's and Senators at Leinster House over concerns about the plan to end driftnet fishing for salmon.

Another example of Mr. Noel Dempsey, T.D.Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources not listening to the people with the ban on drift netting being rushed through.

No chance for the fishermen whos living is made by these licences to have a say .No chance for the people effected by this(not Noel Dempsey ) to be heard .Surley a gradual decrease in these licences would be more a suitable all round solution.A voluntary buyout rather than a compulsory end to such fishing would be why these people came from all over the country to march outside the dáil.
But of course this Mr. Noel Dempsey doesn't care about these protestors just like he doesn't care about the protestors in ROSSPORT ."Let them try all they like I'll do what Im going to do anyhow."
HE is not the one who will be effected by these decessions.It is the politicans in coastal aeras that represent these people that will be hurt in the upcoming election.
