Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs
Inshore Fishing: National Inshore Fishermen's Association

Mr. Michael Desmond:
It was October. It was a couple of months ago that those four recommendations went to the Minister, and it has not met since. We want to proceed with this. We want to go ahead. We want a viable brown crab fishery to go ahead, but they will not meet with us and discuss it. We never agreed to one of the recommendations; the other three we did, but we took that to be just the initial step whereby that was what we could agree to on those days and then we would meet again to further it. Here we are now; a further year has gone by. It is not our fault.
