An Bord Iascaigh Mhara — BIM — is the designated national intermediary authority with responsibility for implementation of the PESCA community initiative, 1994-99. Applications are evaluated and prioritised by BIM in accordance with agreed selection criteria.
BIM advise that the application in question is currently being evaluated together with a large number of other applications, for inclusion in the next round of projects which I hope to approve in the first quarter of the new year.
