Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Brian Stanley: Let us say the figure is €80 million. I think the Department meets with them a few times per year. Would there then be a discussion around the portion of that fund that goes to prize money being kept within a certain amount?

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Brian Stanley: Many of the people who would be expected to contribute to that are some of the people who are benefiting most from this.

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Brian Stanley: People used to say one time that it is because of the amount of limestone underneath County Kildare. I do not know whether that has anything to do with it. Ms Fanning might know more about it than I do. I do not know whether there is anything to it.

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Brian Stanley: It was the reason always given that the horse industry was more based in Kildare than in the midlands. They used to say it was because of the different soil structure.

Has the implementation of the 2020 Act sped up the licensing process significantly? What is the processing time now?
