Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion

Mr. Paschal Hayes:

It stated in the control plan that it should be a non-industry owned and non-industry operated weighing device, such as a weighbridge. We must be satisfied by that and we are sort of splitting hairs where we are now. We must be satisfied as a regulator that we can use whatever device we can or feel is appropriate to conduct our controlled landings, which are 5% of the total. We must be cognisant that the Commission must also agree that. There is not much point in us reaching a benchmark of 5%, only for the Commission to say it does not believe we reached that.
