Question 140: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food his views on the introduction of an ombudsman for fisheries; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3804/10]

The Ombudsman's staff examine complaints concerning the administrative actions of all Government Departments including my own. Consequently, I do not see the necessity for a distinct Ombudsman for fisheries at this time.
