Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mackerel Quota Allocation: Iasc Mara Teoranta

4:00 pm

Mr. Don Hoctor:

To add a point on the consultation process, if the policy continues as it is they can reallocate a bigger chunk of the quota from the big boats back to the smaller boats. If the bigger boats and companies continue to buy the smaller boats, that slows up to process slightly but it ends with the same result.
