Amharc ar fhreagraI announced earlier this year that the Government had decided to decentralise the five divisions of my Department which deal with the seafood sectors, coastal zone management and marine engineering to Clonakilty, County. Cork. This decentralised branch of the Department will deal, among other things with all policy and management issues relating to the sea fisheries and aquaculture industry and will provide a one-stop shop location for Government services to the seafood sectors generally, including the aquaculture industry.
