Thomas Pringle (Donegal South West, Independent)

Question 5: To ask the Minister for Communications; Energy and Natural Resources in relation to oyster dredging licences issued recently for Lough Swilly in County Donegal, his views that it is acceptable that Inland Fisheries Ireland do not ensure that the licencee has a commercial sea fishing licence in place for their vessel when issuing the licence even though it is a requirement of the licence that the licencee have an appropriately licensed vessel; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
