Vol. 577 No. 4
78 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if investigations have started into the aquaculture industry following a television programme (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31373/03]
A detailed review of existing procedures for monitoring, control and enforcement in respect of aquaculture is being carried out in my Department, with the objective of ensuring that appropriate systems and processes are in place for the regulation of all aspects of the industry. A specific instance of the alleged inappropriate disposal of fish mortalities is the subject of consultations with the legal services and it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the particular case.
