The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine considers all applications for aquaculture licences in accordance with the provisions of the 1997 Fisheries (Amendment) Act, the 1933 Foreshore Act as amended and applicable national and EU legislation.
Fish Culture Licences were granted under Section 15 of the Fisheries (Consolidation) Act, 1959. Section 15 was repealed by the 1997 Fisheries (Amendment) Act and Fish Culture Licences are no longer issued. Fish Culture Licences granted prior to the 1997 Act can continue to operate under Section 75 of that Act.
The specific information requested by the Deputy is set out below:
