Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion
Tim Lombard (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
My final questions are on the authority's role as the regulator. I am familiar with the work of other regulators in other streams. The digital regulator, Ms Helen Dixon, has had a very competitive role with the Department of Social Protection on certain issues. Has the authority, in its role as regulator, ever had to take on the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with regard to certain issues? Is the authority's role as regulator about regulating the activities of the fishing industry, rather than the Department as it works within its remit?
