Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Fish Quotas and Decommissioning: Discussion

Mr. Jerry Early:

I will respond to the last point the Deputy made. He is a good advocate for inshore fishermen. The Minister stated in his submission that the price of fuel is 64 cent, 68 cent and 71 cent for diesel which is not indicative. As far as I am aware, the price of petrol has not come down and, as the Deputy alluded to, the inshore sector is mainly based on outboard engines that use petrol. How concessions can be made on that must be looked into. That is the only point I have to make. The rest is probably for my colleagues in the project side rather than commercial side.
