Control of the fishing within Ireland’s Exclusive Fisheries Zone is the responsibility of the Irish control authorities. Under the Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act, 2006, operational issues concerning sea fisheries control are a matter for the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) and the Naval Service. I have sent the question to the SFPA who will respond directly to the Deputy.
