The data requested by the Deputy is compiled by and available from the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA).  Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's requests for this data to the SFPA for attention and direct reply.

Please note that, insofar as the requested data may relate to ongoing legal proceedings in respect of the trawling ban on over 18 metre vessels inside 6 nautical miles and baselines, as this matter is sub judice, I am not in a position to comment until the matter can be resolved before the Courts.
