371. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of a company's (details supplied) salmon farms that are under investigation by his Department for breaches of licence conditions; the percentage of the company's sites that are under investigation; when the investigations will be completed; and if he will publish the results of the investigations. [47819/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is currently examining possible breaches of licence conditions in respect of three aquaculture licences held by the Company or subsidiary companies referred to by the Deputy.
This represents approximately 19% of licences held by the Company or subsidiary companies.
Every effort is being made by my Department to bring these examinations to a conclusion as soon as possible. As these examinations are ongoing as part of a statutory process it would not be appropriate for me to comment further pending completion of this process.
