Written answers

The applicants of the Judicial Review (2017/816JR) are challenging a decision made by the Minister in July 2017 in respect of the allocation of Ireland’s total mackerel fishing quota (Ministerial Decision regarding a Proposal from the Irish South & West Fish Producers Organisation (IS&WFPO) for a revised mackerel distribution between the Polyvalent Segment and the RSW Pelagic Segment).

As this matter is sub judice, I am not in a position to comment until the matter is dealt with in the courts.

Question No. 1152 answered with Question No. 1150.
