A total of 68 applications was received and considered by the Department under the lost at sea scheme. The names of the vessels that were the subject of these applications are given in the table following. It is not considered appropriate to publish the names and addresses of the applicants, on the basis that this information is personal.

The names of the six vessels in respect of which successful applications were made, along with the replacement capacity granted in each case, are also detailed in the tables following. No form of compensation was awarded in these cases, other than the replacement capacity, which, under the terms of the scheme, may not be sold.

The Department does not have the statistics on Irish fishing vessels lost at sea readily available in the format requested by the Deputy. The Deputy requires this information dating back to 1980. The Department is compiling the available information and will forward it directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
