Mr. Micheál O'Mahony:

The statutory instrument has been on the Statute Book since 1 March 2016. It requires nominees of the Minister for Defence and the Office of the Attorney General to be appointed to a points determination panel, with a nominee of the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority. To date, there have been no nominees from the other two agencies. The regulation also requires the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to appoint a fisheries adjudicator, but that appointment has not yet taken place. We have authority within the terms of the statutory instrument to pause implementation of the statutory instrument pending the nomination and appointment of these individuals. No points have been awarded or proposed under the statutory instrument.
