Aquaculture licensing is administered by my Department in accordance with the provision of the 1997 Fisheries (Amendment) Act, 1933 Foreshore Act and applicable EU Legislation.
Salmon farms are inspected on a regular basis by my Department's Marine Engineering Division and breaches of license conditions are examined by my Department in accordance with the applicable legislation.
