Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion
Mr. Paschal Hayes:
Yes, it is about regulating the fishing industry. There is provision in the Act, as provided by these Houses, for us to make suggestions on policy matters to the Minister. Our job is to regulate the fishing sector and the seafood sector. In my opening statement, I outlined all of our roles as a regulator, but they face towards the sector.
