Fisheries Protection.

Seán Power (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)
The Senator focused on drift netting as the only problem but, as I indicated, there are a number of pressures affecting salmon habitats and stocks throughout the north Atlantic region. Naturally, we are very conscious of the impact a reduction in the salmon catch would have on our tourism industry. We will monitor this but no changes are envisaged in the short term.
