Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I have outlined the following to the witness. The advertisement was published in a newspaper read by very few people who live on the Inishowen Peninsula.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Aquaculture Licensing: Discussion (7 Feb 2017)
Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: It is important to probe this matter. Dr. Beamish is telling me the legislation guides the Department whenever it is identifying the location of an aquaculture licence so that all it had to say in respect of the application in Linsfort outside Buncrana, County Donegal, for example, is "The shores of Lough Swilly". Does Dr. Beamish know how extensive the shores of Lough Swilly are?...

Today, there was a presentation in the Oireachtas on innovation hubs in different parts of Ireland. The problem is when reduced corporation tax and responsibility is introduced. We have seen where this has, unfortunately, been abused in the...
