278. Deputy John Connolly asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment the position Ireland has taken in EU discussions regarding the European Commission’s proposal to impose a daily limit of three pollock per angler on the charter boat and recreational sea angling sector; if his Department has carried out any socio-economic assessment of the impact this measure would have on coastal tourism and charter angling businesses; if he has engaged with representatives of the sector; the scientific evidence underpinning the proposed restriction; and whether Ireland intends to seek amendments or exemptions for the charter angling sector in view of its very low impact on pollock stock levels compared to large commercial trawlers, and its significance to rural coastal economies.
