PQ 72
72 Deputy John Browne asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine in view of the fact that long-term sustainability of the mackerel fishery is seriously jeopardised by the actions of Iceland and the Faeroe Islands which together have unilaterally increased their share of north-east Atlantic catches from 4.6% in 2005 to 45.9% of the scientifically advised fishing opportunities for this stock in 2011, in defiance of all agreed management arrangements, if he will confirm that the interests of Irish mackerel fishermen will not be sacrificed by conceding either quota or access to EU waters for countries which have shown such flagrant disregard for the sustainability of a fishery vital to our interests; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
