Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Landing Obligation Update and Fishing Fleet Management: Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (30 Jun 2015)

Thomas Pringle: ...a final question on enforcement, something that will become an issue, particularly when other countries are involved. In recent days, stories have emerged of a Danish pelagic trawler to which the SFPA issued penalty points, but the Danish authorities refused to apply those points to the trawler's licence. How will enforcement, including of landing obligations, be handled in such...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Statutory Instruments (26 Mar 2014)

Thomas Pringle: This section was described recently by the SFPA at a committee meeting as a novel approach. I imagine it is not an approach that is taking place across the remainder of the European Union. It appears that Irish fishermen are again to be treated separately and differently from other fishermen across the European Union in terms of the application of this process.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Reform of Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy: Discussion with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jul 2013)

Thomas Pringle: ...a general point and I am not seeking a debate on it. As regards discards and their removal, one of the factors that will determine whether this is a success will be the attitude adopted by the SFPA and the rules we implement to make this happen in the transition period. It is also linked to the science involved, although the fishermen suspect the scientific evidence. Their evidence at...

Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Joint Sub-Committee on Fisheries: Aquaculture and Tourism: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Apr 2013)

Thomas Pringle: I thank everyone for their presentations. I have some specific questions, particularly for the SFPA. The Common Fisheries Policy has six- and 12-mile limits. What flexibility, if any, exists for member states within the six- and 12-mile limits to end variations? I have in mind specifically inshore fisheries and sustaining inshore fishing communities. The SFPA presentation referred to the...
