Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Is the Minister aware that 42% of the boats in the north-east inshore fishery fleet which extends from Dublin to the Border work out of County Louth, particularly the ports of Clogherhead, Annagassan and Carlingford?

What plans does the Minister have to conserve the resources that are available and attract new entrants into the industry?
