36. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will confirm that Ireland has never made a request in support of a recreational bluefin tuna fishery either to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas or to the European Union Commission; the reason the Government has not made such a case to the European Union for a catch and release recreational fishery programme to be based here, despite the fact that other countries have done so successfully such as Norway, in 2014 which was granted a 27 ton quota on application to the international commission; if Ireland may be treated differently on application for such a quota, even with our history of fishing in the past; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
