145 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to EU criticism of Irish fishing policy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29312/01]
I take it that the Deputy's question relates to recent letters from the Commission in relation to Ireland's position under the multiannual guidance programme and the registration of a specific fishing vessel. The issues in question continue to be the subject of high level discussions with the Commission with a view to resolving outstanding issues.
