Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 June 2023
294. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will publish the value and volume of fish by species landed in Ireland; if he will provide a breakdown, separately, of the value and volume of that same fish processed in Ireland for each of the years 2015 to 2023, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26884/23]
View answerThe Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) is responsible for the collection of landings data. I have referred the Deputy's request for information on the value and volume of fish by species landed into Ireland to the SFPA for attention and direct reply.
Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) publishes its "Business of Seafood" report annually, which provides a snapshot of Ireland's seafood sector. The publication includes a section on Seafood Processing. As BIM compiles the relevant data, I have forwarded the Deputy's query on fish processing to BIM for attention and direct response.
