Some £2.5 million or 3.174 million was made available to the shellfish production sector under the shellfish remedial package. The scheme was announced in budget 2001 and launched in Bantry on 12 January 2001 by the Minister of State, Deputy Hugh Byrne. The launch received wide media coverage in both the national and local press and radio and television. Details regarding the objectives of the scheme and how to apply were advertised by BIM, which administered the package on behalf of the Department, in The Kerryman and The Connaught Tribune of 19 January 2001 and the Southern Star of 20 January 2001. Details were also published in BIM's Aquaculture Newsletter No. 36 and Aquaculture Ireland.

A total of 80 applications were received by BIM. Having assessed all applications in accordance with the criteria of the scheme, funding was approved in respect of 43 applications.
