As the Deputy has been advised, the wide-ranging nature of the information requested requires a detailed examination of my Department's records and consultation with other Departments and relevant agencies. While much of the information gathering exercise is complete, certain information gaps remain pending aquaculture site inspections in some cases. Further consultation with relevant outside agencies will also be necessary.

The Deputy will understand that this work is time-consuming in the context of other service delivery requirements on my Department as well as on the agencies in question.

Every effort is being made to expedite completion of this exercise as soon as possible having regard to the complexity involved.
