No financial assistance is available for the setting up of local fishermen's co-operative societies. However, support is available for existing co-operative societies from Bord Iascaigh Mhara, under such measures as the supporting measure programme, the market investment programme and fish handling grants. I will arrange for further information to be forwarded to the Deputy in respect of these measures. Information is also available on the Bord Iascaigh Mhara website.
