I propose to take Questions Nos. 85, 87, 89 and 100 together.
Inshore vessels which target selected species such as lobster have the potential to seriously impact on stocks around the coast. In this situation, I have given priority to the development of new management arrangements for Irish inshore fishing vessels operating in inshore waters to ensure that inshore stocks are managed and developed on a sustainable basis. A recent survey of the inshore sector carried out by Bord Iascaigh Mhara, BIM, found that some of the traditional inshore fleet remain outside the licensing and registration framework. I therefore introduced a new scheme which will give bona fide fishermen an opportunity to fully regularise their situation and become full participants before the introduction of the new management arrangement for inshore stocks.
