Ms Teresa Morrissey:

There was a report from the European Court of Auditors in 2023 looking at aquaculture on a European basis. Despite increased funding through the MFF, the actual production of aquaculture at a European level, including Ireland, has stagnated. It did not increase. It did not really decrease – although it probably did in some countries - it is just bobbing along at a stagnated level in Europe. The report confirms that.
