Gerald L'Estrange, Joseph Brennan, Brian Lenihan Snr.
asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry the number, size and value of boats financially assisted by BIM which were built in (a) Irish and (b) foreign boatyards in the past five years.
Comment on this
The reply is in the form of a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I will have circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
Irish Built Vessels.
* It should be noted that in the case of 5 Irish Built Boats the hulls were imported from abroad.
Foreign Built Vessels.
Comment on this
Is the Minister aware that many of those people have difficulty in paying instalments at present on some of those boats because they cannot fish for herring and may not be able to fish for them for the next three or four months? What are they to do in the meantime?
