Seán Ryan
Question:39 Mr. Ryan asked the Minister for the Marine if he will make a statement on an incident in the Irish Sea on 27 November 1989 whereby an Irish trawler Marie McClements was dragged along the water by a submarine which not only put the lives of the crew at risk but also caused considerable damage to the boat; and if, given that the owner was not insured for this type of incident and is unable to pursue this through normal channels, he will investigate the possibility of compensation from national or international resources.
