The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has encouraged fishers to participate in the Inshore Fleet Economic Assessment Scheme as the deadline for applications has extended.
The scheme was designed to build on Inshore Census carried out by Bord Iascaigh Mhara in 2023, by capturing additional detailed information in relation to the current market knowledge and routes to market being used by inshore fishers, as well as their ability to identify and access new markets.
The new deadline for applications is now this Friday November 8th.
Minister Charlie McConalogue says the scheme will provide the support fishers need in developing and accessing markets and getting a fair price for their catch.
