With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 10 and 11 together.
The answer in each case is that I am not prepared to take action in regard to drift net licences in the Foyle area on the lines suggested by the Deputy. I am aware that the Foyle Fisheries Commission have given notice of proposals to increase certain existing licence fees. Regulations to give effect to such proposals have not yet come before me, but when I come to deal with this matter I shall feel obliged to have regard to the commission's need to secure adequate revenue to pay for protection and improvement of the fisheries in the area.
