Written answers
The monitoring and control of fisheries within Ireland’s Exclusive Fisheries Zone are matters for the Irish control authorities. Under the Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act, 2006, all operational issues of this nature are exclusively for the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) and the Naval Service. As Minister, I am expressly precluded from getting involved in operational matters.
The landing data requested by the Deputy is compiled by and available from the SFPA. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's requests for this data to the SFPA for attention and direct reply.
