Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The Sea Fisheries Protection Authority is the body within the State responsible for gathering data and reporting on the landings of sea fish by Irish Sea Fishing Boats and other fish landings into Irish ports. I have asked the Authority to provide the Deputy directly with the data requested.
