Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Dutch Trawlers Coastal Limit.

7.

(South Tipperary) asked the Minister for External Affairs whether the coastal limit for Dutch trawlers is six or 12 miles.

Netherlands fishing vessels are prohibited from fishing within our 12-mile exclusive fishery limits except in the six- to 12-mile belt in the area between the Old Head of Kinsale and Carnsore Point. In this area they are entitled to fish between the six- and 12-mile limits for mackerel and herring only.
