Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

Aquaculture Innovation and Development: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Finian O'Sullivan:

We did a review of the recommendations of the licensing review. Ms Morrissey and I had a review with the Department. A lot of them, you could say, were implemented, but I would probably bring the whole thing back to the legislation as it stands being a bit cumbersome. There are hoops to jump through and jumps to jump over. There are too many of them, really, and that is part of the problem.
