Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Fishing Industry: Discussion

Mr. Andrew Kinneen:

-----consultations we have had with the Marine Survey Office and other experts, we have reason to communicate to the Commission our reservations about how reliable the data gathered there would be, so much so that, at any one time, the readings taken could be affected by the trim and attitude of the vessel, which would have been a function of what water or fuel was on board or how the fish was being stored as it was being discharged.
