Special Report No 84: Transhipment of Waste (25 Jun 2015) John Perry: I will finish with this point. I am very grateful to the Chairman for giving me time on this, because this is a catch-22 situation. I do not know how it can be solved. Regardless of the collection of debt, given the subvention from the State and the fact that as Accounting Officer the payments are made by him to the local authority, regardless of independent audit, it still is the main...

Special Report No 84: Transhipment of Waste (25 Jun 2015) John Perry: A sum of €750,000 was not paid last year although it was expected to be paid. The council is now taking draconian action and the CEO, Mr. Hayes, has implemented staff reductions. The council has made massive cuts all over the place. Is there any possibility that the €750,000 plus the €1 million from this year will included in the revised plan? I ask the witnesses to...

Special Report No 84: Transhipment of Waste (25 Jun 2015) John Perry: As the Accounting Officer, Mr. McCarthy is here to deal with the accounts of the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government. I would encourage him to make a special case to the Minister on behalf of Sligo, in light of its gateway status. I ask that consideration be given to a bailout or a write-off of some of the debt of Sligo County Council.

Special Report No 84: Transhipment of Waste (25 Jun 2015) John Perry: The legal charges attached to the case run into millions. The case was in the High Court for 57 days and it is unfair of the Department and the Minister to place that debt on the county.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jun 2015) John Perry: I welcome Mr. O'Driscoll and his team. I wish to ask Dr. Beamish about the Common Fisheries Policy and tuna fishing off the north west of Ireland for recreational purposes. I was at Mullaghmore during the week and know the area has great potential for recreational angling. The pursuit was in decline due to the 2002-2009 reduced commercial quotas. When the Common Fisheries Policy was...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jun 2015) John Perry: I was at Mullaghmore yesterday and I know this endangered fish comes to the west of Ireland and that, while there is huge potential for developing tourism along the Atlantic corridor, there was a major issue until 2009 regarding sustainability and recreational fishing. It is amazing that we cannot just get a recreational licence for this fish. It just comes to the north west for the summer...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jun 2015) John Perry: Can the Department outline its position on getting Ireland a bluefin tuna quota for sports and recreational fishing only? If we are talking about developing tourism, hotels, and so on, catch and release would not be suitable.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jun 2015) John Perry: What can be done to deal with the situation at Mullaghmore, off Rosses Point? Many people depend on recreational tourism, tourists who can use this facility. We are on the Atlantic corridor. What answer can we give them?

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jun 2015) John Perry: When they migrate from here, they are captured in big nets. This is for a tag and release scheme off the west coast of Ireland. It is amazing that we do not have some potential there for tag and release.
