Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

In my response to Parliamentary Question No. 346 of 12 July 2017, I advised that this was an operational matter for Bord Iascaigh Mhara and that I had requested Bord Iascaigh Mhara to respond directly to the Deputy on the specific information requested.

I am advised by Bord Iascaigh Mhara that it replied directly to the Deputy in relation to this parliamentary question on 13 July 2017.  As this is an operational matter for Bord Iascaigh Mhara, it would not be appropriate to make any comment in relation to such matters.
