Inshore Fisheries
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-21
============================================================

Holly Cairns (SD), Cork South-West

I ask the Minister to provide an update on the status of the ban on large trawlers of more than 18 m operating in inshore waters. Last month, the Court of Appeal refused the Minister's application to continue a stay on the ban. I realise it is a matter the Minister inherited, but it is a very important issue for many fishers, the marine sector and coastal ecosystems.
