Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Go raibh maith agat. I welcome the witnesses. I reached out to the various representative organisations. These include the fish producer organisations, the exporter associations and the aquaculture industry. I advised them that the witnesses would be here today and to give me their feedback ahead of the meeting. The responses make for sober reading. I will go through them. I think we...
- 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)
Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: We need to work together to find a solution to this. In the case of the BAR funding that was provided for producers, there were two schemes and under the capital one, €30 million was spent out of a possible €45 million. Under the transition scheme, it was recommended that €12 million would be sought but Ireland applied for €7 million. We could go back and forth...

- 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)

- 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)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I know that but, with all due respect, I heard the witnesses' earlier submission. 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.

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?...
