Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion
Thomas Pringle (Donegal, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I thank the representatives for their presentation. A couple of things arise from their presentation and what has happened at the committee meeting. I welcome that they withdrew the last paragraph. The second paragraph of section 4 states:
Several instances of weigh-unit manipulation resulted in temporary revocation of permits until necessary enhancements were made, including one subsequent conviction. In no case of manipulation was there any particular deviation between the declarations of masters, purchasers or weighers.
Is it not the case that the weight of what was landed would be based on what was weighed at the factory in that case?
Is that not calling into question people who should not be called into question?
