479. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to previous parliamentary questions from this Deputy in April 2014, if he has now received the legal advice he sought and published the results of the tests on the failed nets and bridles requested by his engineering division in regard to the 2010 escapes of farmed salmon in Inver Bay and Clew Bay, respectively, as this reasonable request for the results of these tests or an admission that these tests were in fact never provided may have implications for the necessary precautions to be undertaken to prevent potential further escapes.

As the Deputy was previously advised my Department sought legal advice concerning the possible release of the operator’s reports dealing with this issue.

Legal advice has since been received and it is understood that, subject to certain redactions in relation to commercially sensitive information, release of these reports is permissible.

My Department will issue the relevant reports to the Deputy within two weeks.
