The Control of Fishing for Salmon Order 2005, SI 72 of 2005, which I signed on 16 February last, authorises the issue of commercial salmon fishing licences by regional fisheries boards and prescribes the criteria under which those licences may be issued. There is no upper age limit specified within those criteria.
