Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Deputy Fergus O'Dowd)

As stated in my earlier replies on this issue the information requested by the Deputy is not held in my Department. As advised in my reply to parliamentary Questions No. 279 of 11 December 2012 and No. 257 of 7 May 2013, I have passed the Deputy’s question to An Bord Iascaigh Mhara, BIM, which is under the aegis of the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine and the Loughs Agency, requesting that they reply directly to the Deputy. I will again advise the bodies concerned of the interest of the Deputy in the matter and request that they reply directly to the Deputy.
