On 12 March 2015, I received a request from Bord Iascaigh Mhara for sanction to recruit 21 additional staff, including 3 positions with the National Fisheries College, of which 2 relate to Greencastle. This request by BIM for a very significant increase in staff resources must be considered by my Department in the context of the ongoing constrained budgetary situation and the staff resource constraints being experienced by my Department and its agencies. The BIM staffing request will be considered within the context of existing Government procedures for the assessment and consideration of such staffing requests.
