416. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his Department will re-engage with and arrange a meeting with a person (details supplied) to examine possibilities to compensate them for stability issues which were discovered on a vessel that they purchased from another European state rendering the vessel unfit for sea and unsafe and which left them in serious financial hardship; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has no role in providing financial compensation to the fishing sector. Such matters are within the remit of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM). The individual concerned should make contact with DAFM to pursue such matters.
