Fishing Industry: Discussion

Mr. Micheál O'Mahony:
The figures quoted by Dr. Steele use the denominator of landing, so the factory ships or the large-scale pelagic freezer trawlers do not land in Irish ports in general. In my eight years in the job, I have seen only one landing by that type of vessel in Ireland. They are not included in those statistics.
