Vol. 577 No. 4

Written Answers. - Fishing Vessel Licences.

Eamon Ryan

Ceist:

50 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources further to the policy directive 2/2003 issued by him under section 3(2)(b) of the Fisheries Amendment Act 2003 on 17 November 2003, the number of vessels currently affected by his policy directive that licensed vessels which do not have a licence with approved pelagic wet storage capacity, and which currently have such capacity, will be allowed to continue to operate with wet storage capacity for the period of their current sea fishing boat licence; the number of boats that this will apply to; and the home port and the amount of gross tonnage and kilowatt power involved. [31381/03]

There is only one vessel which is considered to come within the scope of this particular policy provision. The vessel's home port of registry is Tralee and I understand the vessel mainly operates out of Dingle. The capacity of the vessel is 201 gross tonnes and 448 kW.
