Vol. 377 No. 9

Written Answers. - Driftnet Licences.

135.

asked the Minister for the Marine if he will consider amending the regulations governing the issue of driftnet licences for salmon fishing to ensure that some preference is given to small fishermen residing on inhabited islands off the west coast.

I am currently reviewing the framework for the national conservation and development of the salmon fishery in the context of the recommendations made by the Salmon Review Group. I have recently published the report of the Salmon Review Group and have invited all interested parties to submit their views on the report not later than 31 March 1988.

I will consider the Deputy's proposal in the light of the recommendations of the review group and the submissions which I receive from interested parties.
