Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara (24 Mar 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The presentation is challenging. In the course of his contribution Mr. Keatinge stated, "We can add up to 45,000 tonnes of new raw material to the seafood base." Allowing for the fact that there are strict quotas, will he indicate from where the additional 45,000 tonnes will come? One can create more sales by increasing the added value of the product, but Mr. Keatinge also talked about...

When we visited...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Britain will not leave the European Union. The British are too clever, but they know how to negotiate. They know how to say they are heading out the door, only to come back in to do a deal, but they will renegotiate on the fundamental issues. In this context, would there not be an opportunity for us to renegotiate on the fundamental issue of the irrationality and unfairness of the CFP?

Éamon Ó Cuív: If I can return to this issue because it is very important. It seems to be very black and white that a licence would be issued on BIM's recommendation. Can Mr. Maguire explain why, in four years of this Government, not one salmon licence - either a renewal or a new licence - has been granted by the Department? If it is as black and white as Mr. Maguire says, why has the Department not been...
