Vol. 431 No. 2
68 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for the Marine if he intends to implement the recommendations of the Nautilis report on the Irish fishing industry.
The report to which the Deputy refers was undertaken on behalf of the European Commission by a group of independent consultants in the context of the review of the Common Fisheries Policy. This report was one of a series undertaken throughout the Community which sought to establish the socio-economic parameters of the fishing industry, dependency of coastal communities on fishing, and the degree to which any labour displaced by restructuring of the industry could be reabsorbed into the local economy.
