Written Answers. - Fish Farming.
The primary controls on fish farming are the responsibility of the Minister for the Marine. However, in so far as my Department are concerned, the following legislation would have relevance in certain respects to the development of fish farming:— (i) Local Government (Planning and Development) Acts, 1963 to 1991; (ii) Local Government (Water Pollution) Acts, 1977 and 1990; (iii) European Communities (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations, 1989.
