Ceisteanna — Questions. Written Answers. - Fishery Patrols.

78.

asked the Minister for Defence if he will seek to have an Army helicopter from Finner Camp carry out fishery patrols from Inishowen Head along the Donegal coast in order to prevent the poaching which is being done by foreign trawlers inside the fishing limits.

The operation of fishery protection patrols by Air Corps helicopters would not be practicable. It is not proposed to change the existing arrangements under which fishery protection is carried out by the Naval Service.
