A local Senator is seeking a ministerial debate around traditional seaweed harvesting rights in Connemara.
It's as Canadian firm Arramara has renewed its application to secure rights to harvest seaweed along large sections of the coast.

It's further complicated by the fact some rights are formally recorded, while others are traditional rights passed down through generations.
