Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Aquaculture Industry: Discussion

Mr. Michael Mulloy:

The Acting Chairman asked many good questions. I think we will all answer bits of them, if he does not mind. Our industry is involved in the licensing process through its representation on the Aquaculture Licences Appeals Board. I actually represent the industry on the Aquaculture Licences Appeals Board, so I am aware of the complexities, especially relating to the different environmental directives. It is a very complicated process.

I would say one thing that we were just chatting about outside. For the process of taking a judicial review in this country, one has to cross a very low bar. This has impacted on other industries apart from our own.
