Regional fishery patrol boats
Regional boards will use boats already operated by boards of conservators, with Naval Service support during salmon season; boards may seek funding for additional vessels through their annual budgets.
asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry the number and type of boats which will patrol the Irish waters for all regional fishery boards.
Comment on this
The regional boards will, for patrol purposes, have at their disposal a variety of boats which are at present operated by the boards of conservators and during the salmon season they will have the support of Naval Service vessels. Should any regional board feel that additional vessels were required it would be open to that board to seek the necessary finance in their annual budget.
