Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 July 2017
584. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the percentage of Irish landings made within six and 12 nautical miles of the UK’s coastline for each specific fishing stock; and the percentage of landings made by each EU member state within six and 12 nautical miles of Ireland’s coastline for each specific fishing stock, in tabular form. [32639/17]
View answerThe data sought by the Deputy is complex and will take some time to compile. My Department, in consultation with the Marine Institute, will provide a comprehensive reply directly to the Deputy as soon as possible. I am advised by the Marine Institute that the estimated amount of landings by Irish vessels from the UK 6 to 12 mile zone and landings by non-Irish vessels from the Irish 6 to 12 mile zone are not considered to be very significant in overall terms.
