Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 546 of 21 February 2017, the way in which he plans to amend a licence for an operation (details supplied), as this licence expired on 13 February 2007 and no other licence exists for this operation at this location.

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The aquaculture site referred to by the Deputy is operating under the provisions of Section 19(A)4 of the 1997 Fisheries (Amendment) Act and accordingly must comply with the terms and conditions of the expired licence.  The appropriate amendment in question is under consideration by my Department at present.
