I have no proposals regarding the driftnet salmon fishermen who did not opt to avail of the Salmon Hardship Scheme. The Salmon Hardship Scheme which was a voluntary scheme was administered by BIM and was intended to provide a measure of relief to individuals in line with the level of hardship likely to be experienced on foot of the cessation of mixed stock fishing for wild salmon.
