Mr. Richie Flynn:

The question of protected geographical indicators, PGIs, is very relevant. PGIs are available for fish and the first PGI granted in Ireland was for Clare Island salmon, which is now a protected name. There is great potential around the coast, particularly in respect of shellfish, to designate PGIs. The UK, which has a relatively small oyster industry, highlights the qualities of oysters from particular bays. There is a lot to be said for marketing and branding on that basis.
