Mr. Micheál O'Mahony:

One of the potentially serious infringements is the non-recording of catches and the tool described for the recording of catches is the ERS for vessels over 12 m. If one does not record one's catch on the ERS and it is deemed to be a serious non-recording, that would be subject to the assigning of points. To answer the Deputy's question directly, I do not see the ERS as being a particular driver of points.
