Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
National Strategic Plan for Sustainable Aquaculture Development: Discussion (Resumed)
6:30 pm
Mr. Michael Ewing:
We had great hopes for this plan but we are very disappointed with it. It is not sustainable, despite the name. The moves in it are basically designed to support major industries, but not small people working on inshore areas or coastal communities. It is a big missed opportunity and we ask the committee to take that into consideration.
