‹ Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers. - Fish Processing Industry. Restrictions on pike fishing
Summary
Wilson raised concerns about pike being caught for processing abroad; D’Arcy said regulations restricting pike catches were being examined and would be introduced shortly.
Is the Minister aware that tourist interests are very worried about the wholesale clearing out of pike, particularly by French tourists, for processing in Europe? Would he accept that a deputation I met from Belturbet, County Cavan, last Sunday night, expressed genuine fears in this regard and that this is a matter which needs remedying?
