I have not received any representations from the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority to add extra ports to the list of designated landing ports for specific species of fish. The following is a list of landing ports and details for each species as requested.

I have recently, at the request of industry representatives, approved the addition of the ports of Kinsale and Schull as designated ports for the landing of Monkfish.
