Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021
Public bill · Government · Presented
Introduces a points-and-penalties system for Irish citizen skippers of sea-fishing boats who break serious EU fisheries rules, with registration, warnings, suspensions, and removal from the register after repeated offences. It also makes smaller technical changes to Ireland’s fisheries laws, allows some data sharing between fisheries authorities and Revenue, and closes a gap that could let a minor apply for a sea-fishing boat licence. The changes matter because they bring Ireland into line with EU rules and help avoid fines and loss of fisheries funding.
