As the Deputy has been previously advised aquaculture sites operating under the provisions of Section 19(A)4 of the 1997 Fisheries (Amendment) Act must comply with the terms and conditions of the expired licence.

The proposed amendment in the case of Inishfarnard remains under consideration by my Department at present as part of a statutory process. Therefore, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further pending completion of this process.
