Mr. Micheál O'Mahony:

-----a role in issuing licences for wild oyster harvesting. They issue a licence to allow people into the harvesting business in this area.

I can confirm that we do the inspections in conjunction with IFI. In general terms, it is their boat, and our officers and their officers on one boat conducting these inspections in this area.

I do not know the exact answer to the Deputy's direct question as to whether we verify that the licensee is on board the vessel. I am not that au faitwith our operating procedures in that fishery. I can find out.
