Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Figures for fish landings in Ireland are retained by the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority(SFPA), Ireland's competent authority for Seafood Safety and Sea-Fisheries Protection.

I have asked the SFPA to send the requested landings figures directly to the Deputy.
