Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 March 2023
374. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide an update on the implementation of the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority capability review; how many of the 46 recommendations have been completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14438/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraResponsibility for the implementation of the recommendations of the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) capability review rests solely with the SFPA, which is an independent agency as set down in the 2006 Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act, 2006.
My Department has provided significant additional resources to the SFPA in recent years to strengthen the organisation and ensure that it delivers to a high standard on its core responsibilities.
I am accordingly forwarding the Deputy's question for direct response by the SFPA Authority.
