Section 2 of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act, 1997 specifies that "This Act shall not apply to or in relation to the Moville Area, within the meaning of the Foyle Fisheries Act 1952". The Moville Area referred to is in respect of Lough Foyle.

Accordingly, no aquaculture licences under the Fisheries (Amendment) Act, 1997, have been issued by the Department in respect of Lough Foyle.
