GOVERNMENT and opposition members expressed sympathy with the family of the Cork trawler skipper who died in last Sunday's tragedy off the south west coast. Mr Michael Calnan (Lab) said the Minister for the Marine, Mr Barrett, should come into the House to discuss the tragedy. The whole question of boat rammings, net cuttings and bullying at sea needed to be aired.
