John McGuinness
Question:63 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to reports by Scottish Natural Heritage, which implements conservation legislation in Scotland, and a recent study published by the World Wildlife Fund, both of which underline the danger to wild salmon stocks created by the factory farming of wild salmon which causes pollution from chemical treatments, fish effluent, detrimental interbreeding and damage to shellfish; his views on whether intensive farming of animals, bird or fish is now increasingly viewed with suspicion by the consumer and, therefore, does nothing for the green image Bord Bia is attempting to create abroad; and if he will appoint a board of inquiry to look into the industry.
