Dr. Cecil Beamish:

The Irish industry takes about 42% of the catches in the Irish 200 mile zone and the other EU fleets that have access would take the balance. There is some access for Norwegian vessels in the blue whiting fishery as well. Control at sea is carried out by the Naval Service working with the SFPA while control on land is carried out by the SFPA. The Commission then inspects all of that control effort. It does the same in the other marine exclusive economic zones. The Commission is ultimately overseeing all of this. That is how it works.
