A Donegal TD is encouraging the county’s marine stakeholders to submit suggestions for the Government’s upcoming Integrated Marine Plan.
The plan, which will be published in the summer, “will be a national agenda for developing our country’s marine potential, across tourism, shipping, leisure, fisheries and other sectors,” said Joe McHugh.
The Dáil deputy noted “it is significant” that Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Minister for the Marine Simon Coveney are “dealing with this personally” as “previous Governments did not give this type of prioritisation to the industry”.
He added: “I encourage Donegal marine stakeholders who see potential for national development in the fisheries, sea tourism, marine leisure, oil production and energy industries and in various other areas to make submissions to the Integrated Marine Plan.”
