Question:34 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources when comprehensive guidelines on the licensing of sea fishing vessels will be published as promised in Dáil Éireann on 19 May 1999. [3564/00]
Written Answers. - Fishing Vessel Licences.
While the principles and criteria of sea fishing boat licensing policy have been articulated publicly on numerous occasions, in line with the quality customer service objective and in the interests of clarity and transparency I have asked the Department to finalise as quickly as possible comprehensive guidelines on the licensing process, procedures and criteria with a view to publication by mid year.
