John Perry (Sligo-Leitrim, Fine Gael)

Regarding the equal valuation of salmon licences, the reference years used to calculate the final figures were based on a very difficult period. Will the Minister consider basing uniformity on the payment of licences and the tax element? Why was only €10 million provided in last week's Estimate for the fund, when the original figure was €25 million, with €5 million for the development fund? Will the €5 million in seed capital be retained and administered by the Department with the support of others?
