Brendan Griffin

Question:

175. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position regarding the case taken by his Department against Cromane mussel fishermen, in view of the likelihood of considerable expense to the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4674/14]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I presume the Deputy is referring to proceedings taken by mussel fishermen in Cromane against the State. As proceedings are ongoing before the Courts, I am advised that it would be inappropriate to make any comment on the matter.
