FRANK FAHEY Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources. EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) These rules provide for the application of the rules of fisheries co-operative societies in the case of an election to a management committee on 20 March 2000 with the modifications necessary due to the departure from the usual election date of the third Tuesday in December.
