Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
457 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the position regarding a shell fish licence for a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11649/04]
View answerThe licensing authority for sea fishing boats is currently working through a backlog of licence applications which arose from the suspension of processing of such applications pending the introduction of a new EU fleet management policy and subsequent introduction of a national licensing policy late last year. It has informed me that it hopes shortly to be in a position to process the licence application in question. The licensing authority proposes to contact the applicant concerned about his application within the next couple of weeks.
