Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Sea-Fisheries Sustainability Impact Assessment: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Dr. Paul Connolly:
The Commission is proposing that we set up a small experimental sampling fishery to work with local fishermen. In that case we can allow some level of fishing to take place then do a scientific evaluation to see with the local fishermen whether what ICES says stands up. We could certainly do that.
