General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (resumed)
Professor Tasman Crowe:
I do not have it to hand but I am sure there will be people who can point to those kinds of areas. I am involved in a process on the Irish Sea with a four-month deadline. At the end of that process we may well have identified some areas that would meet those criteria. If the Deputy were to ask again at the end of April, there may be some more specific answers for a segment of the Irish Sea. I am referring to maritime territories and the Irish Sea is part of it. To do that properly for other parts of the maritime territory will take longer again.
