- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I have a few questions for the witnesses. What percentage of the fish of Europe are caught in Irish waters?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Okay, I will go on. The witnesses spoke earlier, and I was looking some things up on it, on the marine Bill or was it the maritime-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Yes. There will be designations twice the size of our landmass in this country by 2030. Is that correct? It is proposed that it will be 30% of all marine waters by 2030. My understanding is that two sites will be designated, of 3 billion ha. What effect will this have on fishermen or fisherwomen or fisherpeople?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)

I presume, in all of these things, that the submissions put in by the witnesses' Department will include the consequences of some of these actions that are coming in the next few years, between now and 2050, including consequences for the fishing industry and the effects of offshore wind generation.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Would it be concerning to the Department if one of those proposed designated areas, which I am sure it is well aware of, was off the north-west coast, up near where Pádraig Mac Lochlainn is based, and another one down off the south-east coast, where there is a proposal relating to an area equivalent to 3 billion ha? Would it be alarmed if 30% of our area was going to be protected?...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Impacting the Fisheries Sector and Aquaculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I am not going to say I am an expert on fishing but, when you talk to fishermen, no more than on all sides of it, with farmers and such, the amount of paperwork involved is one thing you will hear about. There is a scheme some people were offered under which they could cut up their boat. Why are we going down that road? When you look at the statistics on the number of people or the number...
