Ms Suzanne Brennan:

What I have heard reported back from Bord Bia is that it features brown crab significantly in its overseas marketing, in particular into the Asian markets. It describes it as one of its star stocks. I do not have an up-to-date briefing note to hand from Bord Bia but I am due to get one shortly. We can supply further information to the Deputy in that regard if he would like it.

I do not have detail on shrimp markets to hand. Bord Bia puts a significant effort into marketing Irish seafood, in particular Irish shellfish. I can get some up-to-date briefing on recent marketing efforts and pass that on to the Deputy.
