- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Sprat Fishing: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)
Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Will Dr. Kelly clarify this point? Sprat is not a quota species. If there is a quota, it appears there is definitive guidance from ICES that instructs the December Fisheries Council meeting and so on. Is that a factor here? Is it the case that because sprat is not a quota species, we do not have the level of data co-operation that would be expected?

We should note that. Iceland and Norway, which are two sovereign countries, and the Faroe Islands, which are pretty much sovereign although they are part of Denmark, have utterly ignored scientific advice and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Sprat Fishing: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)
