asked the Minister for Lands (a) how many applications An Bord Iascaigh Mhara received for fishing boats in North Mayo in the last two years, and (b) how many applications for boats were made to An Bord Iascaigh Mhara through the Department of the Gaeltacht; and how many applications were sanctioned in each case.

I presume the Deputy is referring to applications for fishing boats under (a) the ordinary hire-purchase scheme, and (b) the special Gaeltacht scheme. I am asking An Bord Iascaigh Mhara to convey the information to him.
