Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

Aquaculture Innovation and Development: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Teresa Morrissey:

Absolutely. It has been in the licensing review recommendations for eight years that there should be a review of the entire legislation and that there be a single Act written to deal with that. In doing that, it would address section 19A(4). I understand where we are at in terms of having to address section 19A(4) and we have no issue with that, as it needs to be addressed and is being addressed, but an opportunity is being missed to reform the entire legislation, as is required.
