Vol. 321 No. 5

Written Answers. - Mussel Transportation Scheme.

404.

asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry if he will make reseeding grants available to the mussel fishermen in the Boyne Estuary on more generous terms than those offered at present in view of the fact that the fishermen in question cannot avail themselves of the grant on present terms.

The decision regarding such grants is one for An Bord Iascaigh Mhara. I understand that the board will consider giving a grant of up to 50 per cent of the cost of a mussel transportation tion scheme in the Boyne Estuary, sub-ject to the usual conditions. I do not propose to ask the board to increase this generous offer.
