Amharc ar fhreagraThe Licensing Authority for Sea Fishing Boats has informed me that an application for a polyvalent licence was received from the individual concerned on 12 December 2005. The Authority issued a written offer, outlining all the conditions pertaining to the issue of a licence, on 5 January 2006. All the licensing conditions were satisfied following receipt of the individual's written acceptance of the terms of the licence offer on 11 September 2006. The Licensing Authority issued a non-operative licence, together with an application form to have the vessel entered onto the Sea Fishing Boat Register, on 12 September 2006. The Licensing Authority has no record to date of having received the completed registration application form. On receipt of that completed form, the Licensing Authority will enter the vessel onto the Sea Fishing Boat Register and issue a sea-fishing boat licence.
