Abstract

This Order prohibits fishing for mackerel within the exclusive fishery limits of the State by Irish fishing vessels exceeding 55 feet in length, except under licence issued by the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry. A licence under this Order shall be subject to such conditions (if any) as the Minister thinks fit and specifies in the licence and may, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, include conditions: (i) restricting the quantity of mackerel that may be taken, landed or transhipped in a specified period or periods; (ii) prohibiting the landing or transhipment of mackerel other than at specified places; (iii) requiring the keeping by the master of the boat concerned of specified records in relation to the boat's activities; and (iv) providing for entering and inspection of the boat and inspection of any records kept on the boat in relation to the boat, whether pursuant to the licence or otherwise, by an officer of the Minister and for the taking of copies of any such records by such officer. The Minister may, if he so thinks fit and is satisfied that there has been a contravention of a condition of a licence under this Order, revoke the licence. (5 regulations)
