I ask the Minister to deal with the damage to aquaculture operations as a result of the recent storms, not least the reports of the escape of 60,000 to 80,000 salmon from the Bantry Bay operation and what has been described as a potential ecological disaster. I believe BIM issued a statement today saying that there is no evidence that these fish escaped but 60,000 to 80,000 fish have disappeared from this area. As required under the licensing regulations, what reports has the Minister received of this very serious development?
