As soon as the incident referred to by the Deputy was reported to my Department an inspection of the site was carried out by my Department’s Marine Engineering Division and a detailed report was prepared. As the Deputy is aware my Department’s records indicate that all relevant stakeholders, including Inland Fisheries Ireland, were informed of the incident in accordance with the applicable aquaculture licence conditions.
