Éamon Ó Cuív: It was related to a general moratorium.

Other Questions: Aquaculture Licences (26 Mar 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I asked the Minister whether a moratorium was in place or not. The question has nothing to do with a specific application. I am talking about a general policy issue of a moratorium which the Minister's Department put in place under the seafood programme. It is a simple question.
