252 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, further to Parliamentary Question No. 836 of 20 April 2010, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that latitude 51.30N in area VII intersects the Irish coast just west of County Cork, meaning that for part of the Irish coast line any fishing activity for bass, even if confined to south of this line, will actually take place right up to shore; the way he will reconcile this geographical fact with the Federation of Irish Fishermen assurance that the inshore sea bass fishery around our coast will not be the target of commercial fishing; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
