The Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) is an independent regulatory agency as set down in the Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act 2006. My role as Minister relates solely to corporate governance.

The information requested with respect to the staffing levels operating at Dingle and Castletownbere ports is an operational matter for the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority. I have accordingly referred the Deputy's queries to the SFPA for attention and direct reply.
