Question 369: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in view of the inordinate amount of time that it has already taken to conclude a management agreement for the licensing of aquaculture on Lough Foyle to be operated by the Loughs Agency and the detrimental impact that this is having on the sustainable growth of the aquaculture sector in north Inishowen, County Donegal, if he will now set a target date for the conclusion of these negotiations and confirm the level of co-operation he is receiving from the Crown Estate to reach a successful conclusion.
