Marine industry needs one voice in the Cabinet

I WOULD like to express my grave concern at the Taoiseach’s failure to designate a full cabinet post for the marine industry.

This was the ideal occasion for the new Taoiseach to demonstrate his commitment to the marine sector and to coastal communities.

From the point of view of those closely involved in the industry, there is absolutely no clarity as to who is actually in charge. Brian Cowen has simply let the mystery continue.
