Ceist:140 Mr. Ferris asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources his Department's plans with regard to the results of the national survey of licensed salmon fishermen by the international consultancy INDECON on behalf of the Central Fisheries Board; the action he intends to take on foot of the survey results; if the information gathered from the survey will not be used to remove licenses from current license holders without adequate compensation; and if a move towards removing licenses will be on a strictly voluntary basis.
